I am sorry about your stroke and hope your recovery is going well. I also had a stroke after my last baby was born 20 some years ago. I had an infection in my heart valve and lost the feeling entirely on my left side. You could draw a line down the middle of me and anything on the left side had no sensation at all. I was fortunate to recover most of the feeling but there is definitely a residual effect that causes me to mix up a few words here and there or transpose numbers if I am not real careful. I also have trouble knowing for sure if what I am feeling is hot or cold, and I feel pain on that side, especially when I am tired. Doing things like play the piano was a real challenge for a long time, but I want you to know the progress I made after the stroke continued way beyond what the doctors originally thought. It probably made me a better Republican!! :)

I will say a prayer for your recovery.
