You should be able to remove the Black Wasp parasite by resisting getting the eggs fertilized a few times in a row, but some people have mentioned issues with that not working properly. If you really need to get rid of it from your saveword, it's position 89 - setting that to 0 should remove the parasite. That is the 30th value in the second portion of the saveword.
As for the Joanna in the garden, defeating the plant should save her. I've not heard of this being a problem before now. There's three possibilities that come to mind:
- you didn't actually do the Overrun Garden event or you didn't actually beat the monster, or you did an undo too far and undid the event;
- you successfully saved her and she's in your game and only need to travel back to the Flower Garden area; or
- you successfully beat the plant monster, but were using 'Control Freak' and skipped the post-combat scene, thereby not setting the variable contained within to indicate that you'd won this critical fight.
Did you actually get the post-combat scene with the two of you finishing off the plant?
If it continues to be a problem, the variables controlling Joanna in the saveword are positions 137 and 138, with are the 78th and 79th in the second portion of the saveword (the 24th and 25th if you count from the back). You can either set them back to 0 to reset her and the event or set the 137 spot to 1 and the 138 spot to 0 to set her as just having been saved and the Flower Garden open.
