At age 5 in 1954, I contracted polio just before the vaccines were distributed.

I had a mild case—spent three weeks in a hospital bed, restricted to laying on my back. Once released, lots of arduous physical therapy, followed by a lifetime of muscular impairment.

Ditto, exactly what happened to me, physical therapy, etc., except I got it at age 5 in 1955. My back muscles are still weak.
