I watched,The Upside, again today. It has been a really long time since I saw it. My Mom laid down in the middle of it, and before she laid down, I told her that this movie proves that Disability is for the ultra-rich. Which I am not!
I thought about, Me Before You, as well, but that one is kind of really sad! But it further proves that someone can modify their stables to make a fully accessible apartment for their son. Yeah, that’s not me either!
I watched The Upside with commercials today. I don’t like commercials at all! And usually, I can find one of the platforms that I have that doesn’t have commercials. I couldn’t today. I watched it on FX.
I saw an MS commercial three times today. I hated it! I said that out loud each time I saw it. I remember talking with Suzanne, Dr. Elias’s nurse, (who are both retired now and here I am still sick) we were talking about MS commercials and I said I hate them and she just said that everyone hates them!
I had something to say about each person who was in the commercial! People were walking down the street with ease and driving. One woman put her arms up over her head in a V and I remembered when I could still do that. I really didn’t like the woman at the end who like had a podcast or was a DJ or something.
The amount of effort that it takes me to speak now makes me cry at times. I really can’t believe how small my life is now but it’s just the way it is now, I guess. I told my Mom that I used to see myself throwing my wheelchair into the trunk of my car when I was 65. Or maybe I will stop driving 30 years before that?! Because I did! I think I was 34?
Wishful thinking now. I can’t believe that I saw that commercial three times and I hated it every single time! Maybe that’s why I don’t like watching commercials?
