Blood thinners.

They make banging your hand in a door look like you are walking back from Bastogne.

He can afford good care in the home. He’s worth about 22.5 million. He’s worth every cent for that longetivity, right JoeJoe. I don’t think he’s hit the 47 year term limit limit yet. I could be wrong.

I will make a wild guess. The band aid looks like the site of a skin biopsy based on what looks like radiation burns to the hand. Just a wild guess.

As an ex boxer with some bar fights under the belt in the younger years...that’s a punch...or more than one.-..or hit with a blackjack or something along those lines.

It’s not a fall.

Or maybe he just kept talking about how hot Coney-Barrett was. Elaine did not want to hear it one more time.

Nah, punch can’t be right. doesn’t explain the hands.

Even in self defense of falling from the punch, they wouldn’t look like that, I don’t think.

Some folks are saying blood thinner

Looks like he missed a step or something.

I’ve fallen several times on our property here.

One night the lights didn’t come on and I was walking down
the stairs outside. The last step didn’t stand out in the
low light and I missed it. I fell.

I learned a long time ago that if you can’t help going down,
keep your hands and arms out of it. I arch my back putting
my mid-section out front and land over a wide surface area.
I move my chin and face back, and hold them above the
impact area. This spreads the impact over a larger area,
and avoids the braking of an arm, or hurting your hands or
joints. It protects your jaw, teeth, and all of your face.

I learned this tactic playing street ball when I was about
18. As I was running I slipped and knew I was going down.
Instinctively I used the method I described above. I hit
the pavement hard and slid a couple of feet.

My clothes took the brunt of the damage. I didn’t have a
scratch on me. Everyone around me thought I was going to
be pretty beat up. I stood up like nothing had happened.

Still works to this day, and it has saved me four or five
times over the years.

Try to hit squarely on the area from above the knees to
the chest. Can’t say it will always work, but it has
worked for me.

Sorry Mitch. Get well soon...
