I'm really worried because my grandfather just had a major paralysis stroke affecting the right side of his body. Is there a chance for him to recover from this? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.

The chances of recovery from a major paralysis stroke on the right side, also known as hemiparesis, depend on the severity of the stroke, the location and extent of brain damage, and the timeliness and effectiveness of medical treatment; with prompt and intensive rehabilitation, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, some patients can achieve significant improvement, but the degree of recovery varies widely, and it's essential to consult a neurologist or rehabilitation specialist to assess your grandfather's individual prognosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.
