Communication with Dad has been really challenging since his stroke. I was checking on his boat and there were a couple of wing nuts missing. I asked him where they were and got a lot of hand gestures which I could not interpret. I thought that I would have to go to the hardware store. A couple of hours later Mom told me to go check on Dad and that he was out in his truck. I get out there and he holds up a sunglass case and dumps out the wing nuts. He gives me a smart a$$ed look and blows me a raspberry. The wing nuts have been in there for 4 years or more since before his stroke and he knew exactly where they were. He may have lost his ability to speak but his memory certainly has not suffered. The mind is a strange thing.
