Early bedtime visits

I flew out to CH on business this evening. We had arranged for the care team to make the bedtime call early, at 20:00, to shorten the gap between teatime and bedtime. This seemed to work well and is to be repeated tomorrow. Social services are to call on Friday to discuss the extra funding for between meals visits.

Different strokes...

It has been nearly seven years since Jo suffered a "controlled" stroke whilst undergoing brain surgery to clip the blood vessel that had caused a subarachnoid haemorrhage in 2000. Sadly two successive coilings did not occlude the bleed and so Jo had a craniotomy in August 2008. During surgery the surgeon discovered the coiling had penetrated the rear of the aneurysm, occasioning emergency repair procedures. Consequentially they spent one and a half hours longer in surgery than expected, leading to the right half of Jo's brain forgetting it has to look after the left side of her world.
