Even better in the water

Jo's hydrotherapy session showed continuing improvement today, with the scissor kicks stronger then ever and increasing power in the left leg when pedalling. Her squat to stand was good and Jo performed really good stands in the changing room, using only the bar for assistance.

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.
