 TM> Greetings, James!!
Howdy Tom!
 TM> 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.
 TM> same here, except "Class of '48"!! 
Well looks like the 40's were when it got most of us ... at least you I
and Bob.
 
 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) ....
 TM> Again. ditto - Fightin' the Wheelchair bit, tho' - Sit and ride a lot!
 TM> (Kinda live in front of this Computer.. )
 
Same here Tom, but looks like the wheels are in.....:) Also live in
front of the pooter... Betsy I call her....:)
 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.
 TM> General opinion seems to center on "Use it and Lose it" , inasmuch as
 TM> the belief that exercising the already-damaged muscles will cause MORE
 TM> deterioration. Your mileage may vary, however.. :-)
 TM> Will post some info in next message...
 TM> Welcome aboard!!
 TM> Take care!!
Thanks Tom,
L8r.... James
