Person. Woman. Man. Shuffle. Stroke?


Should we speculate? It would be wrong not to:



Please speculate:






Let's see if the stellar Beltway media picks up on this and investigates fully. Nah, just kidding!

Check out hemplegia gait. Foot drop, circumduction, hand weakness on the same side, can reflect lesion in pyramidal tract. "Spastic Hemiplegic Gait
Hemiplegia typically results from disruption of the corticospinal tract above the medulla. Tone is often increased, and posture is characterized by leg extension or slight knee flexion. Hemiplegic gait includes impaired natural swing at the hip and knee with leg circumduction. The pelvis is often tilted upward on the involved side to permit adequate circumduction. With ambulation, the leg moves forward and then swings back toward the midline in a circular movement. The heel-walking exercise is impaired as the patient scuffs the lateral sole and the toe of the shoe while dragging the foot.

The affected leg bears weight for less time than the normal leg during ambulation. The expected rhythmic reciprocal swing of the arm with the stance phase of the opposite leg is absent. Dystonia rather than spasticity should be considered if the arm is held behind the plane of the body on a routine basis." https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/hemiplegic-gait#:~:text=Spastic%20Hemiplegic%20Gait&text=Hemiplegic%20gait%20includes%20impaired%20natural,side%20to%20permit%20adequate%20circumduction.&text=The%20expected%20rhythmic%20reciprocal%20swing,the%20opposite%20leg%20is%20absent.

A less extreme explanation, which also accounts for the strange, stomach-forward way he stands, and his trouble navigating ramps or slippery surfaces: He is wearing lifts in his shoes which are as high as he can get away with, which causes his weird posture and means he is always in danger of his shoes coming off.

If it was a stroke, it was pretty useless. Come on all ye gawds i trust you and all. We are truly sorry. I thought we had a relationship but it's just not working out.
