No. You think it's Coppola's fantasy?

Well, that whole movie was his fantasy. It was more about his Catholic confessional thing of listening to what people were saying and very interesting, revealing movie about the man who wrote it, who was Francis Covill. But, yeah, that was what that was about.

Well, I do suspect that, but I could be wrong. But I think it's one of the reasons I wrote about it in the book is because I want other people that have MS to think maybe there's something like this happened to them. But there's a theory out there that MS is a virus that's in you, but like everyone gets chickenpox or some kind of virus, it stays and lays dormant.

But some kind of trauma or some kind of Something will exacerbate it. So I do remember dropping a broken champagne bottle, which is thick glass, on the top of my foot, and it broke. It severed the tendon in my foot, and I felt like it went boing-oing-oing in my head or something like that. And when I look back on that, I think, I wonder if that was the thing that started the MS. It activated it.

You know, I could be dead wrong. But I did write that in my book because I thought that maybe was when I first started experiencing little, you know, things that weren't right. And I couldn't control my body as well as I could. I mean, here I was a dancer and a good one. And I just couldn't make myself do it. I thought, what's going on? Am I lazy and am I getting tired?

And I think that's when it started to happen. And the champagne bottle that you dropped, that was in a scene from One from the Heart, right? Right. I was supposed to be carrying groceries in and then I dropped it and it broke on my foot. Right.

Well, I don't. The symptoms, I always have this ego that I'm fine and I'm a perfect physical specimen. Anything that did happen to me, I sort of ignored it. Oh, this is normal. Everybody gets this. But I know that one of the first things that happened to me was years ago, I'd feel like this buzzing in my foot, buzzing, like a cell phone or something.

And then I thought, well, it couldn't be a cell phone because we didn't have cell phones back then. I mean, we had cell phones, but they were the size of canoes, so it wasn't that. But I didn't know what it was. And then it would go away. And then I had where I would run. I was a big jogger, and I would run in Central Park, and I would trip on something. I thought, what rock? What did I trip?
