My husband is not the same person he was before his stroke. When will he return to being himself?

Doctors will be unable to accurately predict the actual outcome of the brain injury resulting from the stroke your husband suffered. Even with the slightest of brain injuries, there can be subtle changes in the patient’s personality, intellectual functioning or mental state. Life with your husband as you have known it has changed and getting it back to exactly where it was prior to the accident is unlikely.
