I talked to my brother last Friday. In our conversation, (I don’t even remember what we were talking about) but he told me, “”This are hard!” And I began to laugh! That statement is from what I thought was a cartoon from when we were kids. It actually is a claymation short. It’s titled Morris Goes To School. It is a claymation short based on a book that we owned.
I searched for the clip with just Morris telling the teacher that, “Yhis are hard!” But I couldn’t find it. All I found was this clip that shows that Morris isn’t very smart, that’s why he has to go to school.
The following video is the entire 15 minute short. I don’t remember how old I was when I first saw it my 2 brothers and I understand when we say, “This are hard!“
This week has been difficult for me! Monday was a wonky day, Tuesday evening, my left foot felt like it was going to burst out of my shoe! I had visions of taking my sock and shoe off and finding out that my foot was large, black, and needed to be amputated! I didn’t have my compression socks on for less than one day and the blood pooled in my feet from of my lack of blood flow in my lower extremities because I sit all the time. #MSsucks!!! It was the first time in 17 years of having MS that I was scared. I have been angry, disappointed, sad, and frustrated many times but never scared.
My Mom came by that night to put them on for me. I cannot put them on myself. This process takes about a half hour! My left foot was deep purple, my Mom rubbed it for a while and then put my socks on. Wednesday, I saw A Question of Faith on Netflix at my Mom’s recommendation. I cried and cried! I watched it three times. Maybe I just needed a reason to cry! Today, I watched Beaches and I cried again! I was reminded of spending the night at my neighbor Aseal‘s house with my friend Heather when I was young! We watched that movie over 1 million times back then!
I’m not sure how my body will react tomorrow but in addition to all of this, my knee has been hurting constantly this whole time! I had to pay for a refill for the cream that my Mom rubs on my knee because my insurance no longer pays for it. I still need it, so…
All I know is that, “This Are Hard!”
