ELI5: Why does brain become more neuroplastic after a stroke?

I reading on poststroke rehab timing, I find this article that says:

> Previous studies in humans suggest that there is a 3- to 6-mo “critical window” of heightened neuroplasticity poststroke. We analyze the temporal structure of recovery in patients with hemiparesis and uncover a precise gradient of enhanced sensitivity to treatment that expands far beyond the limits of the so-called critical window.

I try searching on why precisely this happens, but couldn't find really an answer (maybe didn't use right terms). Can someone ELI5 this?

N.S. Health Transportation Support Pilot Program

Does anybody else who's used the transportation support program (in northern zone) had issues?

Yesterday a taxi I had booked through them didn't show up, taxi company said they not find any booking when I call about it. I ended up cancelling appointment because taxis were overbooked all over.

I have more upcoming appointments that are vital, so worried about this. I emailed NS Health about it but no response yet.
