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.
