Post polio syndrome (PPS) is affecting 650,000 polios, who are now living with the after effects of a disease called "polio."
I urge anyone who knows someone who had polio, even if they "recovered,"
to check into one of the many web sites or mailing lists
for help and information. What you do not know could hurt your future
health, knowledge is power.
To read my polio story from 1953 to the present, go here. (Click here to see some of my pictures from the early 1950s and 60s). Meet me as a teenager who loved to "rock and roll" and do all those other teenage things. You will have a better idea of what we went through and why we get a little sad that we are rarely remembered now. I am thankful that the Polio Epidemics are a thing of the past for us, but we who had polio and survived are still here. We became doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, as well as moms and dads. We succeeded in many ways after "fighting polio" and putting it behind us, or so we thought. Some call it a "dragon" that has come back to fight again, but this time we have less left to fight with! But, we adapt and learn and rest and go on, just like everyone else. I intend to do my best to enjoy the rest of my life and enjoy my "retirement"!
