I wonder how long this corona mess is going to impacting us... My mother contacted polio a couple of months after I was born. She was hospitalized and for a while was almost completely paralyzed. She recovered eventually but was afflicted by weak muscles in one leg for the rest of her life. Any amount of over-exercise, walking too much or whatever caused her problems. I have a vague memory of the family doctor being summoned to see me because I became sick with something and developed a stiff neck. In those days family doctors made house calls with their little black medical bags. At the time a stiff neck and inability to touch your chin to your chest was one of the symptoms of polio. I was fine but it scared my parents. Must have been when I was about 3 or 4 years old just before the polio vaccine was approved for use in 1955. They use to sell polio insurance. I remember the signs as a kid going to Clear Lake. We had a neighbor in the next block who was in an Iron Lung. I remember visiting, but was probably only 5 or 6. Never knew what happened to her. We were early in he Salk vaccine distribution. I think the first round was injection, and the 2nd was sugar cubes. Mom was an RN, so most likely was kept in the loop early. |

He wrote copy for a few union recruitment flyers and wrote a few political bumper stickers. Perhaps even "yes we can" or "i didn't have sex with that woman" or "where's the evidence" or "i'm not a crook". Fat Harry doesn't have the attention span to put together complicated thoughts. -- .. ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |
