en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Alexander_(polio_survivor)

ohhh

stick you hold in your mouth

wait what’s a head pointer

and less calligraphy

but with more suffering

so he was like a medieval monk

i can barely type with my hands

that’s next level

and a head pointer

how did he even write a book

he was in it 24/7

he never left the iron lung

sort of

but he made it out

that’s terrifying

and his own thoughts

no lights no nothing

like being buried alive but awake

i can’t even imagine

life’s wild

then got trapped in a tube

so he lived through the worst of it

damn

before vaccines were common

yeah 1952

so he got it as a kid

oh right

can paralyze you

virus that attacks nerves

wait what’s polio again
