Hi all,
     My name is Tom Zabelsky, I contracted Polio back in
1950, at the age of 5 years. At first my whole body was
effected, except for 25% of my hearing. I was  paralyzed, and
in an Iron lunge for almost 8 months. One great day,I moved
my little finger, then a few weeks later two more fingers,
and so on. I have about 35% to 40% return of my muscles, 100%
of my eye site, and 100% of my hearing.
     Life's been pretty tuff through the years, but thats the
way life gos. All in all, I really enjoy living, even if it
has to be in a wheelchair. I'm glad to be alive.
     So if there are any post polios out there, please leave
me message. Come to think of it, I would like to hear from
anybody, who would like to leave me some mail.
 
                                Thank you
                                Tom Zabelsky  Sarasota, Fl.
