Let me offer this: The next 48 hours will be filled with stories of weak and sickly Hillary's episode where she was overcome by emotion from 9/11, and the remarks she made about Trump voters will be conveniently buried...gone...forgotten. Brilliant strategy, Hillary. I commend you on this one.

Her legs started to buckle even before she took a step.

She almost fell stepping off the curb. They surrounded her to try to hide it. She was standing waiting for the limo with Huma bracing her. As she started to walk, she stumbled and then her knees buckled and she went to the ground. My dad had Parkinson's and I watched as the disease progressed. The stumbling and knees buckling were almost a daily event once the disease took hold. The brain freezes were another symptom. He would be talking and then stop, and just stare into blank space. I could coach him back and get him restarted, but then he'd have to rest. It also explains the coughing. Parkinson's makes swallowing very difficult and the only way to get the throat cleared and restart the swallowing is to cough. Once the coughing starts, it's hard to stop it. I have thought all along that the falling and tripping were connected to her drinking but I am now convinced that she has Parkinson's. There are different types of Parkinson's, such as the type that Ali had where he couldn't control the shaking, but other types like what my dad had, there's no shaking, but the knees buckling is common to all types. There's a disconnect between the brain and muscle control. Parkinson's doesn't impair the ability to think but eventually you lose the ability to speak. Your brain knows what it wants to say, but the muscles don't cooperate. People can have Parkinson's for years - look at Ali and Michael J. Fox - and continue to function, as long as the L-Dopa is effective. There will be more episodes where she stumbles, trips, or her knees buckle. I suspect she will have someone right next to her from now on.
