Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
recovery depends on lot of factors. may take weeks to recover.
what was the site, size of block? age ?
other test results?
additional health problems?
if you can give details, can guide you better.
else neurorecovery is variable and exact prediction is difficult. may take weeks to 2-3 months to improve.
keep posted and good luck.
