Go Beyond

I got polio in 1941 at age eight before the Sabine and Salk miracles. Today I use an electric scooter and deal with a variety of post polio symptoms (PPS). This book is mainly about post polio because it has been my life's companion. Disability can have both humorous and light-hearted perspective as well as include serious research data. There is a balance between the serious downside of limitations and the exciting upside of pursuing a full life. I have experienced both sides. I hold a similar worldview with others who are limited in mobility. When it comes to struggling with our scooter or wheelchair in a small toilet stall or forgetting to recharge our batteries-we are really just one tribe.
