My mot...Oh, yes...polio....such a horrible disease. My mother, bless her heart, was so scared I'd contact it, she tried everything anyone told her might keep us safe. I had to stop chewing bubble gum...no outside play during the heat of the day..absolutely no public swimming pool play..can't remember all the others. We made it thru without getting polio and had the sugar cubes, which we all were so thankful for the vaccine.<br />I've been reading about the fear of polio striking again. O, I surely hope not.<br />A teacher in my high school (in the 50's) had a sweet young wife that spent the rest of her life in an iron lung. I've wondered how long she lasted so many times.<br />Now, if we can just lick cancer.....<br />bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-2623200672418995902014-06-27T15:56:32.644-05:002014-06-27T15:56:32.644-05:00Quite a reminder.

Since I'm old (into the 7th decade), I remember the drive for donations at movie theaters inbetween the films; it was for the Sister Kenny foundation. With people blaming innoculations for ADHD and other conditions, children are once again being exposed to this disease as well as measles and other diseases that were deemed a part of the past.Nonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623569563122986528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-4555133717014511312014-06-26T10:55:01.116-05:002014-06-26T10:55:01.116-05:00Even though I was born post polio vaccination, I r...Even though I was born post polio vaccination, I remember be being scared to death when I first learned about iron lungs.
