Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is good to note that you are improving and have regained a lot of functions.
Blood clot in the brain leads to permanent damage of some nerves, and hence complete recovery may not occur in some cases.
However, you should continue physiotherapy and regular exercises. With this you can expect some more improvement.
Wishing you good health,
