The leprosy came when he had a hand, he had a foot … leprosy that went, took the finger of Mojia’s hand together with him, took both his legs out of his knee … Now Mijah Moghaddasi has been with a pair of heavy prosthesis for many years. Side and the other side.
The house of Miaia is a compact room behind the walls of another building of the leprosy town; clean and tidy. However, he says: “Excuse me, this is not compact here … I do not have anyone … I’m going to go to the four legs, I’ll do my work.”
Mijah is from Shirvan, near Mashhad.
He also showed leprosy from childhood: “I was a kid, I was working, I made dough, I cooked bread, I once saw, my hands no longer have life. They were indignant, I watched the sheep, I saw I could not, then I became sicker … Doctors said that you took leprosy … “He brought her to her brother Hashmi Nejad Hospital. Some years ago? He does not remember … He brings his fingers high; he may be more than 60 years old, maybe even more … She also visited her husband here at Hashemi Hospital; a man from Khalkhal who is now 20 years old has gone to God’s mercy. What? No, they do not have … Oh, he says: “I was not allowed to become a child … It was a loneliness …” It says that he is lonely, he sits next to him. He lays on his face, his throat grows in tears in his eyes: “I am not sorry, this was my part … God asked … I pleased God …”
Micah is happy she does not flock, but she wants to have at least a couple of better legs to go out; these legs are very annoyed while walking: “I cut off my left leg in Ferdowsi’s hospital, I was 15 years old, I was comfortable. I was going to myself. This side On the other side, then my right foot was infected, and this one was cut off at Taleghani Hospital. Now I can not do … I can not walk with these shoes at all … every day I come to the front door to go to one of the neighbors, say, if you go to the bakery, buy bread for me … ”
Income? Property? It does not have much. She still raised her hands without her fingers, saying, “She is giving 30 tooman, she’s a welfareist, she’s 45 dollars a subsidy, I have nothing of my own … This room is also for the town, I die, another comes here …” So? Yes that’s it!
