We'll never know what actual chronic illnesses the felon is dealing with, but his problems with balance, swollen feet, and on and on remind me of my 80 yo step-father, who has organ damage and neuropathy related to amyloidosis (and it's treatment -- e.g., the neuropathy). Ongoing damage is halted (for now) with chemotherapy. And may even slowly reverse. He's generally plugging along just fine with the chronic issues.
