Morning motions

I had to go away on business again. On my return I discovered that the extra visits from the carers hadn't materialised and Jo had soiled herself one morning. Perhaps the solution to this is also to have later starts when I am away as I have noticed that Jo will often have a bowel movement when they are washing her during a late morning visit. As her morning bowel movements usually happen at 11:00-11:30 this might be the solution.

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.
