Thanks a lot for using healthcaremagic. I think the you have diagnosed a clot in the left side of the brain with a scan. No need for another scan. As the damage is to the left side of the brain it causes right sided weakness and speech problem. Continue speech and physiotherapy. Strict control of BP and she will do well. Bye
