This sounds a lot like what my father went through when he had his stroke.

Quote:Bill Clinton did more today than defend his wife, Hillary Clinton, from recent accusations leveled by GOP strategist Karl Rove that she suffered brain damage after falling in December 2012.

The former president revealed that his wife’s injury “required six months of very serious work to get over,” he said during a question-and-answer session at the Peterson Foundation in Washington.

“They went to all this trouble to say she had staged what was a terrible concussion that required six months of very serious work to get over,” he said. “It’s something she never low-balled with the American people, never tried to pretend it didn’t happen.”

But Bill Clinton’s timeline appears to differ from official comments from the State Department at the time.

“Judging by the woman we saw this morning and the workload that she’s got she seems to be fully recovered,” spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters at a State Department briefing Jan. 7, 2013, about a month after Hillary Clinton’s fall and concussion occurred.

That same day, State Department officials presented the secretary of state with a football helmet as a welcome-back gift. With Hillary Clinton’s health back in the headlines, here is a review of her illness and the statements that were released about her initial “bug,” hospitalization and, several weeks later, those now-famous glasses:

Sounds like the "mini" stroke my Father had about a decade ago. He lost an entire day. He cant remember a single thing that happened. No real problems afterwards except some mild memory loss. He said he "just did not feel right" for about 5 to 6 months. She may well have had an similar episode and suffered a fall during it. It is not uncommon for this to happen.

She'll be 69 on election day, 2016.

Her age and health will become an issue if she runs. She better be prepared to show some real stamina. I don' see it happening. She knows what that job does to someone. Imagine what she will look like after 4 years?

After his coronary artery bypass surgery in 2004, Bill qualified for a handicap
parking permit, Hillary used the car permit to park in handicap parking spots
in the D.C. area while Bill was recovering in New York.

I don’t know exactly what her heath condition is, but she certainly deserves it.
