She made great progress that first year but kept up all of the rehab exercises on her own beyond that and for years regained more and more strength and movement in her weak side.
By contrast a neighbor had a stroke with similar paralysis but refused to do any rehap because it was painful and progress was slow. His weak side became firmly and permanently paralyzed before very long.

Thanks for that word of wisdom. So far he has been cooperating and there are signs of improvement.
