We grow weary

It has been just over a year now and Jo and I are both very weary of coping with all this. The physiotherapist didn't call this week and so there was no session, which inculcates a feeling of being abandoned and robs us of any sense of progress.

On a more positive not Jo had a rehabilitation assessment for her left hand and they agreed that Jo needed another injection of botox, which they did immediately. We also learnt the consultant physician had agreed the state of Jo's kidneys should not preclude her undertaking the hydrotherapy treatments. Hopefully they will schedule a first assessment session soon.

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.
