Many people do. It means no smoking, regular exercise and diet that will not cause thrombotic plaques (clots) to form and rupture, causing stroke. It will be a lifelong project to stay alive and well!
The anticoagulant medications are critical. Many people who die after a stroke have NOT kept taking their medications, or did not take them properly. Aspirin & clopidogrel (Plavix) will be a mainstay of therapy.
Physical and occupational therapy will help, and the exercises should be continued even after therapy is discontinued.
Good luck with you or your loved one- I hope full recovery is in the future!

yes it is possible to recover fully, with regular physiotherapy and follow up with your doctors.
It is important to continue taking the prescribed medications(aspirin) as it will reduce the risk of another stroke. Other risk factors of stroke include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, high blood cholesterol, obesity etc. All these would need to be controlled.
Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. It can depend on a lot of things, like what area of the brain suffered the stroke and the age and general health of the person.
