Greetings, James!!
While you were muttering to All, , you spake thusly:
JH> Hello all,
JH>       I would love to hear more and learn more about PPS .... I was
JH> stricken with Polio in 1945 at age 3. My left leg was hit the worst, and
JH> I have had a bad limp all my life.
same here, except "Class of '48"!! 
JH> Now in the last 3 years the leg is getting to the point it just won't
JH> support me anymore (Use wheelchair more and more lately) ....
Again. ditto - Fightin' the Wheelchair bit, tho' - Sit and ride a lot!
(Kinda live in front of this Computer.. )
JH>       I would like to hear if there is anything that can be done to get
JH> some strength back in the leg? Excercise dosn't help as far as I can
JH> tell. Any info. on PPS would be greatly appreciated.
General opinion seems to center on "Use it and Lose it" , inasmuch as
the belief that exercising the already-damaged muscles will cause MORE
deterioration. Your mileage may vary, however.. :-)
Will post some info in next message...
Welcome aboard!!
Take care!!
Tom..
