of that I can assure you - BUT - neither will it likely do him in as fast as most people would like. And I count myself among that number.

stents maybe? I'm not familiar with the medical procedures so I don't know if they put a person out or not. Maybe yanking polyps out of him?

like an IV access point to deliver medication, possibly piggybacked with another solution.

I wonder if his ankles still look like volleyballs?

10. Major bruising from extravasation of whatever they were trying to infiltrate intravenously

The damage to tissues causes this. But what all keep going nuts about is the thick smear of concealing makeup that does anything but. While I'm not makeup expert, I do know that if you have bruising, you need to first deflect the blue purple coloring before using any foundation/concealer. Typically GREEN neutralizes the dark purple (red tints) which then allows for the application of a foundation/concealer that more closely matches his (repulsive) skin and then light matching/translucent powder to set.

But, no one bothers to tell him this. (Nor would I, frankly) But, that is why it always looks so horrible. While the public thinks it has gotten worse, I have seen enough of this to argue it is his horrible "cover-up" that makes it look like his hand is rotting off rather than a dramatic change in the bruised hand itself. That said, the extravasation and bruising appears to have occurred multiple times (perhaps even ongoing--at least alternating hands). There are other veins available, but I suppose he'd go nuts even suggesting those in some locations--including the top of feet.

but i'd guess catheter or chemo are not part of the equation at this point.

I have May 24 fixed in my mind as an important day. I'm betting on major earthquake, literally, but maybe it's telling me something else.
