    My grandfather had polio, and walked with a can his entire life. At least that’s what I can tell from pictures, he died before any of his grandchildren were born.

      I met a man who had polio. His party trick was being able to twist his leg at the knee to put his heel next to his ear, because the paralysis caused his leg to waste away.
