News from Ála Wokoun, Czech Polio Survivor

The last issue of our Bulletin of the Czech Polio Survivors’ Association has published my article and included basic information on the recent changes in your excellent organization at Post-Polio Health International and your informative Post-Polio Health.

Last November, I suffered from a new physical complication in addition to my polio. My leg broke and due to my high age (I shall be 80 in April), the fracture obliterates slowly, so that I spent Christmas in bed. My wife, Drahomira, also a polio survivor, and I celebrated 55 years of marriage last year.

I continue to write about specific problems of polio survivors when they receive injuries. The best wishes to PHI’s readers, Àla Wokoun, alois.wokoun@centrum.cz
