She was a heavy diet soda drinker and the artificial sweeteners were one of the possible culprits of a benign tumor on one of her kidneys.

The swelling ankles and bruising from the dialysis treatments are much the same. And this all goes along with heart and circulatory disease and the decline in mental acuity. And all of these things can be exacerbated from damage done by having COVID-19 and 'long covid'.

But who I pray for is Joe Biden. I pray that he can keep a straight face when he pays his respects as Trump is lying in state...
