My spouse and I cared for her father for the last two years of his life. He suffered dementia. Early signs of his progressing brain dysfunction included memory lapses, tremors, large and fine motor dysfunction as well as slurring of speech. Ms. Pelosi, regrettably, shows similar symptoms. Even though I am very much opposed to her politics, (which are slipping farther and farther left), I would wish her no physical harm. .

But Ms. Pelosi’s dubious cognitive and physical problems should be monitored very closely. Too many symptoms,  Too many memory and attention deficits. Too much power in her trembling hands.
