It's been weighing on my mind...

... and even more so on Jo's mind, both figuratively and literally, this hole in her head. The stitches were taken out today and hopefully the year-long saga of this is over. The wound looked well-healed and we can only hope this particular episode is over and a weight has been lifted from Jo's mind, body and soul.

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.
