I just learned today that my mom had a minor stroke. Her speech is fine but she has problems with moving her left leg and sometimes her left hand. Should I be worried after physical therapy and such?

This is serious but probably not life-threatening. (The proper medication after a stroke usually prevents another)
Your main concern should be her attitude. She's going to go through some hard and frustrating rehab, and your biggest contribution will be to keep her spirits up. If you don't live at home, phone her much more frequently than you usually do, just to chat - hearing from you, more than anything you tell her, will cheer her up. If you are at home, encourage her as she recovers, put up with her inevitable low moods, and offer all the practical help you can

What would worrying change? What would not worrying change?
It doesn't matter either way. Let yourself feel whatever feelings come to you.

True true. I really meant to ask of there could be anymore medical issues that could come up
