Strokes
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients.
Most stroke patients experience some permanent disability that may interfere with walking, speech, vision, understanding, reasoning, or memory.
Approximately 70 percent of ischemic stroke patients are able to regain their independence and 10 percent recover almost completely.
Approximately 25 percent of patients die as a result of the stroke. The location of a hemorrhagic stroke is an important factor in the outcome, and this type generally has a worse prognosis than ischemic stroke.
symptoms
Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying. You may experience confusion, slur your words or have difficulty understanding speech
Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg. You may develop sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis in your face, arm or leg. This often affects just one side of your body. Try to raise both your arms over your head at the same time. If one arm begins to fall, you may be having a stroke. Also, one side of your mouth may droop when you try to smile
Problems seeing in one or both eyes. You may suddenly have blurred or blackened vision in one or both eyes, or you may see double.
Headache. A sudden, severe headache, which may be accompanied by vomiting, dizziness or altered consciousness, may indicate that you're having a stroke
Trouble walking. You may stumble or lose your balance. You may also have sudden dizziness or a loss of coordination

downstream affects
his outcomes are normal for a stroke patient, the only real thing he can do to get better is to exercise and build up his body and immune system. also he needs to stop drinking so his blood flow becomes normal
as far as the piano, yes he could probably play again, depending on if he follows doctors orders or not
he will get worse if he does not stop drinking, the alcohol is thinning out his blood and causing it to clump
