in the world.

I have a relative who went through that same protocol, who went from a slurring, unable-to-articulate properly, paralyzed-on-one-side helpless individual, to walking around with a slight limp and a jaunty cane. Oh, and SINGING. In a voice clear as a bell.

Took a long while, but it can be done. Hard work. Repetition--of the right sort. Lots and lots of PT.
