Regaining Lost Ground

After a week's hiatus, occasioned by someone at the insurance company being unable to open an email attachment, Jo's physiotherapy resumed today. We now have six weeks of twice-weekly sessions secured.

Jo has been experiencing neuralgic pain in her left knee and ankle for the last week, no doubt caused by the relative inactivity after two weeks of physiotherapy finally awaking Jo's left side.

Today's session bore that supposition out, with Jo more hesitant and unsure than the previous session. She rallied and finished the session with a good stand and swivel but it is frustrating to see her have to regain ground lost through no fault of her own.

I am still struggling to get the money to finish the conservatory, which will provide the necessary space for Jo's exercises. Planned funds have failed to materialise and the banks are not helping me get a new venture off the ground.. Funny how the banks caused this crisis and everyone else carries the can.

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.
