Cankles went rigid and had to be picked up and thrown in a van.

Trump is elderly. Eats crap. Runs circles around others. He can drink more water. Cut back on salt. Prop his feet up.

Yep, lay off the McDs and he’ll probably be ok.

... Prop his feet up.

The guy only sleeps 6 hours, and I doubt he sits such that he can use a recliner or an ottoman even, as he is hyper active.

Quite a dilemma.

... more exercise. He could work while walking.

That’s right. I’d love to see him lose some weight - just as I’d love to lose some weight myself. I’m 73 and should weigh maybe 30 pounds less, ideally. Losing just 20 would probably do me wonders.

Easier said than done. I managed to quit smoking 20 years ago, but that’s more cut and dry - since you are abstaining altogether - not just from the cigarettes, but also from the entire social ritual of smoking.

Cutting out unhealthy food and limiting myself to healthy proportions is much more difficult for me, because I’m still eating meals and still participating in the same social rituals.

I jokingly(?) blame my wife - since without her, it would be far easier to eat only when I’m hungry, and only have healthy food in the refrigerator. It’s hard to turn down delicious food when offered, especially when your wife is an over-nurturing Italian.

If I were ever to say I’m not hungry, she would likely be put off and ask me what’s wrong.

“socks are too tight”

I had swelling in my ankles. The Dr. gave me a diuretic. How long will I have to take this? From now on.

I said F that. I stopped wearing socks, PERIOD! Even in snowy winter. I wear oversized shoes (bigger than my normal size.) No tight fitting shoes. I always put my feet up (recliner) when in my chair.

No more swelling. Only an occasional flare up. Very seldom.
