Poorer Prognosis: While impossible to say what will happen it has been shown that thalamic strokes that cause ventricular dilation have a much worse prognosis. http://stroke.ahajournals.org/content/strokeaha/14/4/493.full.pdf

Can't advise: Unfortunately, the person whose results you are quoting has had a stroke; and only those who are able to examine can give you an idea of the prognosis. And it may change with time. Do ask.
