I've had problems with my eyes, and my legs hurt if I walk…

“I've had problems with my eyes, and my legs hurt if I walk a great deal. That's due to very bad circulation. It's called claudication, and it's painful. So I have to stop if I'm walking, and pretending I'm looking in the window, so that I can rest them a little bit and then start off again.” quote by Mary Tyler Moore
