Put another way, I don't assume "chronic illness" based on a couple of photos of the back of a hand, and one of his face looking puffy. It's just not enough for me to draw that conclusion. (Not assuming is an old occupational hazard.)
Of course, at 79 years old and with his reported diet, it's more liikely he'd ve chronically ill. Who would be surprised if he keeled over from a "cardiac event" while writing his next barrage of psychopathic posts?
