Don’t think about it

Jo managed a really good stand and swivel from the commode to chair today, because she did not stop to think about it, she just did it.

The Thai massage in the evening really helped. This is the third such massage and where the others were just painful, Jo is now feeling the benefits and the masseuse is concentrating her efforts on Jo's left side where the "muscles have been sleeping long time."

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.
