I had a stroke and my left side was almost paralyzed (I didn't move it for four months). As for my memory (cognition), it started off really bad, but it is improving. You might want to do some research on what happens when a person has a stroke on the right side of the brain. I can't tell you because my stroke happened on both sides of my brain.
