Continuing progress

Jo had a physiotherapy session today and repeated her feat of walking the nine yards from front room to front door with the aid of the gutter frame. She was even more confident than last week and there was little or no complaints about the pain.

She also managed to stand from her chair completely unaided.

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.
