I’m still exercising daily with no swollen ankles.
That said if I croak overnight it will not cause global celebrations,

I mean he is like 80, and is probably on his feet too much.

The not being able to lift the glass to his mouth, the slurring, etc. Screamed TIA, or basically a mini stroke though.

A full cup to my mouth any longer without using both hands because of severe arthritis in my hands and particularly my shoulders.

Those with heart failure who fail to control it can suffer dire consequences.

I know an elderly man who was frustrated by diuretics (Furosemide aka Lasix) that had him making many trips to the restroom.

He went to his GP (despite warnings by his cardiologist) to decrease the Furosemide and his GP did it. It didn't take long for the edema to return.

His legs swelled from his feet to mid thigh, he had difficulty walking, could barely climb stairs. He later had to have intravenous medication for a week as an in-patient to remove the excess fluid.

His ankles with socks on is exactly how the man's ankles looked.
