Unfortunately this is possible, and I'm sorry to hear that someone you know is experiencing this problem. One thing that you should be aware of is that stroke patients are actually at a higher risk of having a heart attack, than they are another stroke. That means that they should be on some sort of medication (like Plavix or the generic, clopidogrel, if it is available) and take a baby aspirin to help reduce the risk of another stroke or heart attack.
As far as your second question, stroke victims will never be completely normal again, BUT depending on the type and severity of the stroke, can get close to normal. Some people do not show any difference at all after strokes. The key will be physical therapy and having loved ones very close by.
Good luck- I hope everything goes OK.

If you had a stroke, you're at risk for another stroke. Make sure you're taking a blood thinner to prevent clots. Some people recover very well after a stroke while other do not. It depends on how big the clot is and where it goes in the brain. For some people, they can work hard in rehab and you'll never know they had a stroke. Others will be so damaged by a stroke that you won't believe it's the same person

A person who has had a stroke is at greater risk than the general public of having another.I suffered a severe stroke (in coma for 5 days) 23 years ago. Luckily, it did not severely effect any major muscles. Most people are unaware that I had the experience. I can tell by several means that I operate at a much lower level than I did previously. I hope that your acquaintance's outcome is not any more serious than mine was.

depends on if the clot that caused the stroke was broken. as for quality of life, it varies widely. some people you can hardly tell they had a stroke, to extremes a survivor goes into a vegatative state. depends on how severe it is and what parts of the brain was damaged
