(86,915 posts)he may be partially blind on that side as well. Watch how he looks kind of startled as he glances to his right and then focuses on the camera. The last few appearances show he also has trouble turning his head to the right and often turns his whole torso.
I think he's had a stroke. If he thinks he's going to die soon, that could have an impact on his judgement.
What a mess.

(11,802 posts)It's a fucking horrible disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My poor mom and her siblings. The poor nurses and caretakers who had to deal with my grandma's racist tirades (she kept her racism to herself before the decline). The hallucinations. The only good that came of it was that for the last year of her life, my grandma reverted to speaking Italian, which she hadn't done since 1940 (when she was 14). I'd listen to her rant for hours in Italian, though I don't speak it well, my Spanish was helpful enough.
It was a disease that, if I ever get it, I hope to god I'm living in the Netherlands so I can elect for euthanasia.

(10,292 posts)People suffering from the condition drag their toes along the ground while walking. To avoid the toe dragging the individual may compensate and use a gait with a wide outward leg swing. Foot drop is caused by weakness or paralysis of the muscles involved in lifting the front part of the foot. Causes of foot drop might include disorders that affect the spinal cord or brain, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis or stroke.

(1,261 posts)But I've felt for long time there was something, perhaps several somethings physically wrong with him, things that he either doesn't recognize/is in denial about or won't admit to the public as it makes him look 'weak'. . And of course his doctors and other enablers keep it on the down low.

WyattKansas
(1,648 posts)His entire right side looks completely dead and he is lurching his leg in motion with his other half.
I have a partially paralyzed leg and I had to learn how to walk by staying in rhythm of walking with two sets of feeling in my legs, but my foot still drifted outward. Although a recent hip replacement last year straightened my gait and foot drifting outward, I was also a lot younger and stronger years ago when I had to learn to walk all over again to make people believe nothing was wrong with me. It is not something you learn how to hide quickly and it takes a lot of work and concentration to hide it.
