Polio & Me, Now & Then

POLIO & ME,

NOW & THEN

My story is about my life as a polio survivor of the 1940’s.

Growing up in a big city and coping with a crippling

disease that touched my life twice and

then came back to touch me again

My life as a child, teenager and young adult and

the challenges I had to face. I thought the polio was

far behind me but now I am dealing with something

few have heard of called “Post-Polio-Syndrome”

I am writing this book to help people understand what

is happening to many of the PPS survivors of the 40’s.

My special dog Jinx and a wonderful husband and family

helps me to keep-on-keeping-on.
