Movement(s) and power

Jo had a mixed physiotherapy session today. Due to an accident with an uncontrollable bowel movement she was tired and her transfers were hesitant. Despite this, when the physiotherapist performed manipulation on her left leg she reported that there was increased movement and power in Jo's left buttock.

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.
