Many people who have strokes recover fully within weeks or months. Some, on the other hand, can have lifelong disabilities as a result of a stroke.
Many stroke patients have trouble speaking or communicating after a stroke. The Mayo Clinic recommends regular practice, props and other communication aids and joining a support group to deal with the potential frustration of not being able to function easily.
After having a stroke, many patients seek the support of friends and family, who can help them deal with their recovery and manage their health to prevent another stroke.
