Reaping the benefits

Jo’s physiotherapy session today showed the benefits of her two hydrotherapy sessions as she was able to step with her left foot completely unaided.

There is still pain in the left foot and anxiety about falling. It seems to me that the later precedes the former and I remain convinced that Jo’s confidence is still suffering from the fall in March.

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.
