You will be amazed how the brain adapts after a mild stroke. If the left side of her body was affected, it means the stroke occured in the right side of her brain. Different parts of the brain will start to take over for the damaged parts. From the symptoms you described, the stroke was minor and I'll bet your mother has a full ( or near full ) recovery. It may take 6 months to a year. Don't give up hope.

If she received an immediate medical attention, the damage can be limited and she will recover from the side effects fully. For recovery, she might be need a speech and physical therapist. Please visit http://ailments.in/stroke.html for more details.

one word "rehab"... thats the only way to regain the motor skills that she had lost...but it takes a lot of time, patience and work to regain 100% of these functions
