I had polio in 1944 when I was four years old. Both legs were paralyzed . Was in a hospital for about 5 months but got the Sister Kenny treatment which was hot and wet blankets wrapped around my legs and frequent but painful stretching of my legs. I came out of it with no damage to my legs.
There were two hospitals that took polio patients but only one used the Sister Kenny approach. I got very lucky in getting in the right hospital. If not I would have been in a wheel chair for life. But I got a complete recovery .
