I am new here to this site and I hope it gets bigger and bigger. I was notified by James Davis on myspace about this site. I am a wife,mother and grandmother with PPS. I came down with polio at the age of three, of 1953. I went to Warm Springs Hospital in Warm Springs Georgia and was there many times. I am looking forward to making friends here. I know I would like to talk to others and see how they are getting alone with polio or pps.
Looking forward to talking to you.

My name is Keith and it's great to meet you! I'm way down here in your old stomping ground's of Warm Springs, GA and it's great! The place is still the same with the exception of many new buildings and a new "Positive" outlook for those of us that experienced Polio. If I had to try and explain what it was like here, I'd definitely have to say it's got a country club atmosphere, golf course included. It also has the most incredible recreational center that I've ever been in, it even has a bowling alley & an Olympic sized swimming pool. it's unreal and since you were a patient here, you have a lifetime free membership to all of the facilities. You and your family can even stay here for 15.00 a night. Being tucked away like it is can be good therapy in it's self. It's good for the Body, Mind ,and Soul, believe me.. It still has that old look and you can feel the history that began here some 80 years ago, it's awesome. I'm also getting a good education on the late affects of my bout with Polio and it is making my life much more pleasant and meaningful. So how are you fairing with the PPS these day's? I'd like to hear from you, so get in touch anytime, alright?
Hi Milbrey
Happy to see u
How does pps affect u now, i am very weak, i cannot stand for long, and i go through different series of pain each day, i am assuming its much better for u, as u have gotten treatment, and i never have
its sad but true
Hi there
I am glad to see Im not the only new one here...I just found this group
I had polio around 1951 when I was 7 it sure changed my families life forever...my dad couldnt handle it and left us
Polio took away the use of my right hand and arm and left me with weak legs,my back was so bad I wore a plaster body cast for 6 years
PPS is here now along with RA
But all things considered I know it could be worst
I live in Mt(doesnt help much that there are no Dr's here that know much about PPS..so have been on the web trying to learn on my own
I hope I will hear from others who have been through all this too
please write
