45's "Dry Throat"?

[downbeatplumb]

Now while we'd have to wait for a diagnosis, I am not buying a mere "dry throat". I have seen this sudden slurring in old people before in my personal life, and it is a sign of a stroke. 

That's dementia. But then the signs have been there for a while. Everything about how he speaks has changed in the last ten years.
He was always awful but he used to make some sort of sense, now its just incoherent unthought through crap spewed out without filter.
