Notes

Are you there? Your checking up. Are you? You're breaking up little bit. Oh, no, she always walked on. After she had Joe and Tim, I know why but when came out they didn't really know it was virus, they don't know what it was so they all kinds of things like they put her in a body cast one year, she was years old. And then, they did surgeries on her knee, who knows why, I mean this is for. Polio is a virus, it your body and it goes away. That be doing surgery for a cold sore in your mouth, I don't know. That's. But these surgeries that they happen to do on this one leg, started wearing out and, it kept going back and so, her knee just giving out on her that is when she went. They offered her, we can or you can walk on braces, so you can have braces so the straight pay for most of this, so they got her braces, and the day they came she threw them in the closet, I'm not wearing those things, so she just went to a wheelchair, and then dealt with it but, um, the reason to braces, is because her best friend Terry, yeah, I know met her, I called her Terry, they were best friends, and they met when they were little, they both had polio, well Terry had to and my mom never say anything to her but, she always thought to herself, I don't have to wear braces. You think about, what might be better for you, whatever, so. When they showed her those, in the 60s, after being a kid in the 20s, she just sad no way am I wearing those. You can not my legs, how am I gonna get up to the stove to cook and how am going to wash dishes, so she just chose not to. We. We help her with the boys. That's why they feel more like my kids than my brother, okay.
