After I wore leg braces at two years old strapped to my legs and made of steel so I could walk with poliomylitius, I graduated to a one legged fitted calf brace at four years old to maneuver. I felt I was a gift to the world and so were my legs .Strong ,unique special ,and wonderful .I’m glad that I had my Brazilian mother who was a LPN to assist me a long the way. In my 2nd bout or phase of polio when I was seven I was so thankful to my creator because the polio had affected my back, arms, chest my lungs,, I still remained strong resilient, athletic after I contracted it. I persevered and concentrated on my brain and physical health and survival as number one priority.
