Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
While it would be useful to be able to view the images from the description it doesn't look like a severe stroke. I would say that there are good chances to gradually improve over the next 3-6 months without major disability. As for what should be done it is important to investigate the origin of the stroke. Causes can be many, most common ones are blood clots coming from the heart (when there are issues such ass heart arrhythmia) or atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries. For that purpose additional tests are needed, like imaging of the neck blood vessels, heart ultrasound and rhythm monitoring. Depending on the origin appropriate treatment with blood thinners will be needed to prevent other strokes from happening again in the future.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
