My apologies if this has been posted elsewhere.

Karla DeVito posted this on her facebook page & I found it enjoyable, educating & just a little bit sad at the same time. The sad bit comes from the pic attached of Jim needing a wheelchair, admittedly it does not say if that if full time or occasionally, and hearing Jim's slightly slurred speak post stroke. That said behind all that you can still hear the Jim we all love if you listen past the slight slurring.

Thanks Wolfy :D Hadn't seen this yet..Just listening to it now, and while I was a bit sad hearing about the wheelchair and his speech being effected by the stroke, its amazing how great he sounds after re-learning how to speak, and his sense of humor and mind are sharp as ever. Thanks again :cool:

I don't understand why Jim became so reclusive. He seems to have the room in the palm of his hand.
