I nursed patients who had been in tanks for 40 - 50 years after their polio - their limbs were squashed flat by the pressure ..... extraordinary lives / my aunt died of polio 1946 ... our best tennis player at school contracted it, limping friends had it ..... horrible
Jane My Aunt was three years old when she got polio in 1910.She survived,but with a leg deformity and sterile.She lived to a very ripe old age with a recurrence of polio in her 70s.I never knew if she had been given the Small-pox vaccine.Would not be surprised though.My grandparents were homesteading in Nebraska with a native tribe adjoining,Otoe,if I remember right.An awful lot of years since I heard the story, Harold
