(Note: Mitch has long since graduated at this point.) He breaks the news to his students in a very diplomatic way, saying that since he may not live to see the semester through, they are more than welcome to drop the course if they prefer.He can't drive, eventually can't walk, and then can't even use the bathroom on his own. He starts feeling the initial effects of his illness.Morrie and his wife are faced with the overwhelming question of figuring out what to do now that this bomb has dropped on their lives.After lots of tests he's diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease, a neurological disease that slowly leaves your body paralyzed, starting from the legs up.Next he has trouble walking, and though everyone tells him it's just old age, he knows inside that it's something else.In his sixties, Morrie develops asthma and is hospitalized after collapsing one autumn day.
For the record, he's not crazy all, and instead he's incredibly intelligent and learned. He loved dancing to all kinds of music, and didn't care that people probably thought he was just crazy.
