That makes this completely different, you see.

Hillary fell, and that meant she was "frail," to many.

This is DIFFERENT than Hillary.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
Easy to do. I've almost fallen in the shower before but luckily a grab bar was there. n/t RKP5637 Mar 2019 #1
Is it easy to hit your head on the door? I can't figure out how that would work. n/t pnwmom Mar 2019 #4

A hotel. NT Eric J in MN Mar 2019 #13

Is it possible that he walked into the door? DesertRat Mar 2019 #11
There's a reason other than age for such accidents. displacedtexan Mar 2019 #12
His thyroid levels are probably "off" ... or his BP meds, or heart-meds may be off... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #19
I seriously doubt that a head injury requiring seven stitches would be considered a matter of T&R. George II Mar 2019 #22
Another possibility is that it could have been a syncope episode... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #24

You know, Botox is popular among celebs and politicians. But it has negative side effects as well... NurseJackie Mar 2019 #42
He looked worse today, after a day for the swelling to set in. pnwmom Mar 2019 #63
A cut that severe would involve swelling or blackening of the eye. ehrnst Mar 2019 #71

This is kneecapping. "Bernie is a senile old coot" is the Big Lie it feeds. McCamy Taylor Mar 2019 #26
No it's not. Nobody is saying that. This isn't about senility. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #28

It IS swollen shut. I *knew* it was *much worse* than we were being told. (Screen cap) NurseJackie Mar 2019 #87
I would expect nothing less from Bernie... to overcome that kind of injury InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #76
Actually, he hasn't "overcome" the injury at all. Have you seen the photos? NurseJackie Mar 2019 #92
Yet Bernie keeps going, and going, and going... sucha serious injury & he hasn't slowed down a bit!! InAbLuEsTaTe Mar 2019 #93
No they're not. Thanks for proving my point. You can't have it both ways. NurseJackie Mar 2019 #94
