Joining because I like to keep abreast of what is going on in the
world of pps, have a forum to complain at .. in which I don't sound
like I have a brick short in the head because of our non existant
disease, and in general just share stuff as it comes along.

Born in 1949, and got polio from the second sugar cube in the series
of three. Mild case, lasted two weeks. Doc thought I had the new
Asian flu coming thru the country. Year was 1958. Three years later,
when an xray of my foot..due to a bad fall..was processed, he put me
back on the table and took xrays of my whole lower body. He did a
bunch of homework and discovered that nine people in our town had all
had the flu during the same time I did, and we all had taken the
second sugar cube and we all had polio. And so it goes.

At age 36, post polio syndrome hit me..and I literally hit the wall.
One full year of bedrest and a year of moving aorund slowly and taking
it easy helped in the recovery. I learned to go slow and plan
things. Two years ago, I finally had to have a knee to ankle brace
made to wear full time. I am still working, but going to retire at 62
instead of 70 like I had planned..

Those are the basic facts..;-)..just looking around for groups other
than Yahoo to belong too..
