My girlfriend’s dad had what was called a minor stroke and was never the same again.
It affected his ability to walk most of all early on, and he went steadily downhill physically and mentally for six years until he passed three months ago.
Sorry to hear your story. Everyone reacts differently. I know an A-list guitarist who had a stroke and couldn’t play for 4 years. Walked with a cane. He’s been playing again at full speed for about 8 years, still uses the cane sometimes. Otherwise healthy. He refuses to go on the road again though.
