On monday 21st November 2005 my partner cleo had a stroke. Since then we are bashing our heads against all the problems of rehabilitation and care that most people never encounter.This blog will be a record of our road to recovery and the thoughts I have along the way.....

Day 105 -

Sunday's drive home concluded with a cup of tea made by cleo. She was up and about when I got home and tea was ready.

This week we are looking forward to contact with the physiotherapist from the care team, and two weeks or so to get a routine going before we have the break from James at the hospital. We will also make sure that cleo continues her own exercises at home as provided by James so that there is continued muscle tone in her arm, shoulder, hip and leg. It seems to me that this regime is more and more important as the physio care will eventually fall off, and much of the responsibility for cleo's continued rehabilitation will rest with us rather than the care team or hospital.

James did mention that it is usual for there to be a follow up from the consultant some 6 weeks after discharge, but as yet we have heard nothing. I may have to follow this up in the next few days to ensure that all is well on the clinical side .
