73. My grandmother had puffy ankles for as long as I can remember

Thu Jul 17, 2025, 03:06 PM

Jul 2025

and she lived to be 98, finally dying of old age but not specifically of heart failure. I'm not sure what caused her ankles to swell - there are a number of reasons, even being overweight or on your feet a lot - but even in her early '90s she always seemed pretty robust. Trump looks a lot sicklier than Grandma ever did.
