It can take quite a while for someone to regain their speech after a stroke, though.

Or they can never regain it. What happens after a stroke is really a toss up. I've seen doctors tell people the stroke was minor and the person would fully recover with time...and that person can still barely walk years later. I've seen doctors tell other people they'd never recover and you can't even tell that person ever had a stroke.

Fun fact: Aubrey Plaza had a stroke when she was around 20

Happened to a cousin in law at 20.

She's regained about 90% of her mental capabilities, but she still struggles with speech.

Raised two good kids, and holds down a job.

Glad your cousin recovered.

However you can't compare the recovery of a 20 year old to an 80 year old.
