Hopefully things are getting better.

We went to Addenbrookes yesterday so the neurosurgeon could look at Jo's head wound. I was concerned that some dry flakes below the still-healing wound were residue from a discharge but he was firmly of the opinion that it was just dry skin. I hope he is right. Jo is getting worn down dealing with all the complications arising from the fall in March last year.

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.
