Many of you remember Jim from other photographic fora. He is one of the best at explaining and testing photography, besides being a great photographer. Here is the update:

Wow. I hope he can make a full recovery!

While it's good to be updated about what's happening with Jim, I surely wish it was better news, and I am fervently wishing for his continued recovery.
Jim's blog post leaves some questions open, but decisions and enduring changes such as moving house and changing cars surely indicate that the needed adjustments represent more than just a temporary setback. That's sobering - and it's hard not to reflect on how easily something similar could happen to any of us.
I hope Jim knows that many of us who have benefited and continue to benefit from his wisdom, guidance and tireless contributions to the community are hoping for the best for him and fully understand his need to step back a bit - at least for the foreseeable future.

Jim's work could always be trusted and he had a knack of making the complicated understandable. I hope that he continues to recover. Ken

I'm very sorry this has happened. It's an object lesson in how quickly things can go kapooties. I've always admired Jim's work and writing, and I wish him a speedy recovery.
-
Oh my God, so many losses for him. I’m hoping for his best possible outcome.
-
I needed a car I could get around in in my present condition. If and when I don’t need a walker or wheelchair, I can always sell the Honda.
WRT the house, it was starting to be too much for us to maintain anyway, and this pushed us over the edge.
Upside. Many of you have said that you envied my view. That view will shortly be for sale, along with 40 acres and a house.

Makes sense, and they are sensible adaptations to evolving circumstances. Glad that the Honda makes it possible/easier for you to get around, and as you say, other options are always available if/when you find you have fewer restrictions on mobility.
I can see why you've decided to sell them as a bundle, rather than separately! : )
-
Wow. I know many feel the same as I do - much sorrow for what has happened to you. I hope & pray you will regain some of the lost function as time progresses. Glad you are able to be here with us.
Cheers!

That is so sad, but on the bright side getting into extreme macro 4x 10x is very involved and quite addictive. when my hands stopped working 10 years ago (now recovered) i had to make a change to what equipment i could use and what i photographed. good luck with the recovery, my hands took 4 years :-)

I'm wishing you the absolute best, Jim.
