Glad your Grandma lived a long life.

Let's hope nature puts him out of our misery NOW!

It almost looks like soccer shin guards or something similar overlapping shoes on both feet.

But if you look closely at where both ankles overlap shoes, there appears to be a sharp line defining both.

I don't think that's all swelling tbh. More like some medical device.

We're probably stuck with him hauling his decrepit old ass around for years, refusing to die, just to make us miserable.

They may have dramatically decreased quality of life, but the afflicted can hang on a very long time.

Issues. Watching a movie about how they pick who gets a heart and they ended up picking older guy who was paying hospital millions of dollars....something like that....

Obviously, he needs to consume more grease and fat so the insides of his arteries will get slick and let that blood flow freely.

12. Actually his last medical report stated he is taking two cholesterol medications

which indicates he must have stubbornly high cholesterol readings. Reportedly the only other medicine he takes is daily aspirin.

He's taking 2 statins and no blood pressure meds? That's a stretch...but then they don't bother with facts, do they?

are tied, is disturbing. Where was this image taken, because it was not our Oval Office, as that is clearly a numbered stadium seat of some kind?

Side note: why is that bottle of diet coke (and I thought he drank cans of that crap???) on the floor?

I wonder if he wears compression socks.

I have to wear them for long airplane flights and probably should on long car or train trips as well.
