I'm weeping for little Allan. I can remember kids getting polio - and remember the huge leap forward when we were all given Salk vaccine on a sugar lump at school.

Kabu: It was sad for her.

My Great Aunt was stricken
with polio as a young girl, but for her the results were not so devastating.

We are so blessed that modern medicine has wiped out polio. I wonder how Allan will handle the affliction.

Excellent tale of an earlier Australia and that poor young lad. I remember the worries about polio for sure because my parents worried about me lying in hospital with a broken leg that had been operated on. There was lots of talk of polio then but no vaccine at that time. Loved your house description with the the kitchen serving as the bathroom on the weekend. Well written love, a great post.

Oh there you go with the story telling again, I love it. I was among the first batch to get those shots. I was in college at the U of Michigan and Dr Salk sent out the vaccine for us.

This is so sad Grandmummy! I knew a lady who had Polio and I still think of her often. Did you see my next alternate segment for Vyktor?

Yes, it's a small world. And I'm so happy to read another of your stories..
He trains and breaks horses, interesting beginning, but it was a shock to read about the polio and the crippling. Talk about triumph over adversity! Write on!

If it wasn't for your stories, I wouldn't know very much about Australia. And, yet, there are many things about your stories that bring back memories of my own of things from my past.
