Some concerns

We must speak to the physiotherapists about the pain in Jo's knee and the fact that her foot persists in leaning to the left.

I have also phoned and left a message for Jo’s consultant neurologist to contact me as I am concerned that Jo is suffering from a lack of physiotherapy, both in terms of the knee and foot but also in terms of progress, both physiological and psychological.

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.
