Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that you had a stroke and you are left with residual numbness and weakness affecting the left side of body.
However, there is no need to worry, as you would improve with regular exercises. You should take the help of a physiotherapist in planning the exercise regimen.
In addition, you should continue the medicines such as aspirin to prevent the recurrence of stroke.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
