Making Movies


A short video this week, shot so Jo could see herself walking and thus demonstrate to her mind that she can walk. At this stage it is 90% about developing Jo's confidence in her ability to walk and 10% about developing the muscle tone that has atrophied during the past two years of enforced inactivity.

As you can see we only have the narrowest of hallways to practice in. Jo really needs the 3 metre run the addition of a conservatory on the back of the house would give her so please give anything you can using the donate button on the right to help this to happen.

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.
