One step forwards…

Everybody seems to be noticing the acceleration in Jo's rehabilitation except Jo, who keeps complaining of being fed up. My concern is that this attitude is not productive. On the other hand it does manifest itself as positive drive when the physiotherapists are here. Jo was annoyed at missing half her session due to being on the toilet and losing the full benefit through not taking her pain control tablets.

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.
