Cuban President Fidel Castro sits in a wheelchair as he recovers from a fall he took the previous month while giving a speech, in this Monday Nov. 22, 2004 file photo, in Havana, Cuba. The reports about Fidel Castro's health have swirled around for years, growing more frequent as the 79-year-old Cuban leader grows older and interest in his inevitable succession sharpens.
