I contracted polio in 1956 and missed two months of the first grade. Lucky for me it was a mild case, but 50% of the nerves in my back were destroyed and I had to have weekly therapy for over 10 years.
To this day, I still get what I call “polio” headaches and my back burns like it is on fire when I bend over to do something like washing the dishes or pulling weeds.
I’m so sorry you had to contract that harsh disease. It does seem to be a lifelong problem for survivors. God Bless!
