A common question from survivors is, 'what should I do to have the best chance of recovery and my doctor hasn't told me anything useful?
You have hit the black hole of stroke knowledge. Nobody will tell you anything because they don't know.
If your doctors were good they would show you a 3d image of your scan mapped onto a brain and describe the penumbra damage and what functions were damaged. Then they would describe the dead brain areas and the functions those covered. You can try asking your doctors again but they will use the Sargeant Schultz reply, ' I know nuthin'. The problem is that everyone looks at the symptom of the deficits rather than the cause, which is the damage to the brain. You probably need to train your doctors in these concepts.
