Dear Michael:
The reason for your neglect is that your stroke damaged the side of the brain that gives you notice of the left side of your body. As your undergoing rehab, you should begin to adapt to this situation. There are no real exercises you can go, but the rehab personal are usual very familiar with these things and can direct your adaptation.
