the right side of your brain controls the movements of the left side of your body, and the left side of your brain controls the movements on the right side of your body. so if the left side of your brain is damaged during a stroke, it is possible for the left side of your body to suffer paralysis.

Blood flow to a portion of the right side of the brain was cut off during the stroke. If a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked, the part of the brain it supplies can die, leaving a person without ability to do whatever that portion of the brain previously directed.
