One of my best friends had polio in his one hand slightly and his one foot badly, which caused him to swing his walk. He went crazy when people said anything, even with concern on their behalf. All the shit you never spoke about. I had a bout with pleurisy about 7 or so years ago, and when the doctor said that word, it all came rushing back.
I remember my mother crying when they came to my neighborhood with the Salk vaccine shots.
TB. Christmas.

The last in-the-wild polio case where I was born was three years after I was born. It really hasn’t been all that long since the disease was driven out of the USA.
