I went to school with several kids who caught polio and it was awful to see them when they came back to school. Then years later I learned about “post polio” and I know they are suffering again.
“There were things we could not do because my parents feared we would catch it, things like movies and swimming pools.”
I never heard that before, thanks!
My sister had polio when she was 5 yo. She was left paralyzed by it for the rest of her life. She lived to be 59. RIP. That’s a long time to be disabled. Polio is a terrible disease.
