[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 528685, member: 1514"] You just said something that gave me pause. You said he has some word retrieval problems. I have a huge case of word retrieval issues going on. My family calls me the queen of the whatchamacallit and thingamajig. I am forever going umm, that thing that goes with the you know, it goes round and round, then you hammer it, etc. I use my hands a lot too. Basically we play a lot of games of charades in my house. I was somewhat bad before my meningitis but after it I got ten times worse. I can really feel for him. For me, it is easier if I write things because I can take my time to just wait for the word to come to me. Sometimes even then it doesnt even if I am trying to get a post written quickly. You will see me describe things in parenthesis. Is V on any medications? If so, some can cause this. If not, this can be a sign of a problem in the brain. I dont think its simply a speech issue. I dont have any other speech issues other than this and I am convinced it is something to do with the brain. I dont think a speech therapist could correct it because it has to come from my memory first. [/QUOTE]
