Getting better all the time

Jo had her first session with the private physiotherapist today. Her walking was very accomplished and saw her stepping and placing the left foot with aplomb.

It was standing that Jo had the most trouble with, something Jo was doing without concern before the fall. Now her fear of falling when standing kicks in as that was the point at which she fell.

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.
