to mark the death of Dear Leader when one occurs, whether czar or dictator. It may give me fresh appreciation for ballet if, say, faux ‘news’ were to commemorate his demise with Swan Lake.

oh wait, that would put Vance in the WH.

We are so fucked. Just have to see them fuck up all around, which they're well on their way to. The mid-terms and off-year elections won't be kind to them.

A dropped foot can often result from a stroke.

I still think it's possible he's missing toes. Diabetes related infection/amputation. It would make you unsteady on your feet.

from sitting on the cart. I think we would need more video. I know I have gotten off the bus for work before and had a leg fall asleep. He should be more concerned about that weight gain at his age.

To stabilize his gait.

I thought it was strange that the first thing Trump called for after he got clipped in the ear and as the SS was pushing him to safety were his shoes.

State Secret and all that--the man can't walk a straight line.

Seems like every other person is telling me they have sciatica. I wonder if some can be side effects of having Covid.

I’m limping so I just might notice more people limping. Anyway - I question them and here’s a biggie for those on Medicare - at least in NM. Dr will do an X—ray but they need to do 6 weeks of Physical therapy before they can get an MRI.

So - I haven’t even gone to Dr because I live far away from any physical therapy- just doing YouTube physical therapy. (Which is really good by the way)

Also, some of my friends can barely walk the first minute they get out of their car but once they stretch, they walk better. I have foot drop from a snake bite and no ACL but walked fine before getting Covid. Who knows? Any of you guys having more trouble with your legs???

My calves are sore sometimes but I think there is a health value in taking stairs when you get older, if you can.

19. Deep vein thrombosis?
Mon Mar 3, 2025, 03:57 PM
Mar 2025

DVT is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg, thigh, or pelvis.

I know a couple of people who have gone through this. Both like Trump are elderly.

The danger of course is if the blood clot breaks loose and goes into the lungs or brains.
