Cannot walk 4 blocks? That would speak to muscle degeneration, circulatory issues, breathing problems on top of everything else that is going on.
Yep, “marched” in the annual Gay Pride Parade in NYC back in the late spring. Dropped out after “walking” barely 1/8th of a mile. The woman is not well.
The woman sounds like she has congestive heart failure if she’s sweating and coughing after walking only four blocks...which is only about a quarter mile.
Peripheral neuropathy of the feet caused by diabetes?
My guess is she needs a hip replacement.
She doesn’t want to get robbed.
