It depends on what section of the brain was affected, and how serious the stroke was. If the effects are only short term, and they recover quickly, its usually not a full stroke, but a TIA (transient ischemic attack), which is a pre-curser to a stroke. Most people who have a full stroke, have lasting effects, but I've seen some recover to a very functional level with therapy, but will still have to use a cane, have drooping to one side of the face,... or one sided weakness in their arms and legs. Medications need to be selected by her doctor.

Well I don't know if it's really one single event, more a process of attrition. 1. Got meningitis when I was 4. Which gave me Central Auditory Processing Disorder for which there is pretty much no treatment and I've had ever since. Had hearing tests when I was younger where I was dismissed as a "somewhat strange chap" because I had the audacity to insist that there was a problem despite the test results. I only discovered CAPD on the internet when I was 36. 2. Went to remedial classes for about 3 years. 3. Had to put up with my mum's "Munchhausen by Proxy" (or as I call it "her little hobby") for the past 34 years. She always likes to diagnose psychological disorders or personality disorders etc. Not like a physical medical condition which can be easily disproved. So it's very hard to disprove her "theories", especially when I'm only 6 years old! I couldn't tell anyone I had CAPD because I never knew it existed back then. Anyway, she's already dismissed that! 4. Had to put up with my mum threatening to have me locked up between the ages of 12 and 16. 5. Had to put my life on hold to avoid "embarrassing" my mum, my dad or my big brother. 6. After I got thrown out, I got 10 phone calls from my family over 5 years. 8 to ask for a loan of some money. 1 to tell me my grampa had died, and another one about something else. 7. Got blackmailed by lies at work for 3 years after leaving school - don't ask! 8. Other stuff....

My father had a massive stroke at age 49. He was completely paralyzed on the left side - however, that was in 1983 when they didn't have as many medications available to help.
He did regain some strength and he was able to walk with a cane for several years until a couple years ago when his arteries were closing off slowly. He was inoperable due to the amount of damage from the first stroke. He had several throughout the past 20 years and finally last year, passed away completely quietly in his sleep.
We were all very glad to have him for the years that we did - it gave us time to say goodbye in our own time.
Best suggestion: Please be patient. they will have mood swings, frustration, etc. and I 'm sure you will get aggrevated, but remember, this is not their real attitude, that changes with any brain injury.

it depends very much on: (how long he/she had the stroke).
also depends on the type & extent of stroke.
if the stroke is a new one & is due to "bleeding" in the brain , then a full recovery is possible.
maximum functional recovery will occur within 6-12 weeks, after which hopes of recovery diminishes greatly.
if you tell me when the stroke happened,& what is the exact diagnosis, or the CT-scan/MRI report, I may give you a better answer.
Unfortunatelly there is no single drug that help petients to recover from a srtoke.

sorry about sounding negative, but 90% of the people i know have never recovered fully from the stroke, specially so, if they've had a small paralytic attack or something. For these people physiotherapy helps a little.

The main two factors no one is mentioning is duration to medical help (less than 4 hours) and the sex (women have grater recover rates than males)
