How do I care for my lovebird who has had a stroke?

My lovebird that I have had for 10 years, we do not know exactly how old she is, was falling off her perch and unable to fly back up. I took her to our vet, who is not an avian specialist. He said that she had had a stroke and gave her a 10% chance of survival. He said to take her home with hope that she might get better. She does act okay, other than she cannot fly and her left leg is very weak. Is there anything special I should be doing to care for her?
