Fuck if I know, but a good friend of mine had a weird stroke which left him in a similar state as your father's. The doctor told him he was not sure if he could recover. I'm guessing this is because he's a rather good doctor who got to know his patient well enough to know what a stubborn ornery fuck he could be, and he stubbornly resolved to get better and get back to work immediately, which he mostly did. He's all better now, but it took him years. He never stopped looking older and craggier, though. But being that he's a big strong guy, it just made him look kind of cooler.
