The girl with (what became known as) the 'bionic' leg :-p

img050-b-crop.jpg

When I still wasn't walking at age 2, only then did the doctors realize that I had contracted the polio virus on both legs.
Tracing back my medical history, it seems I developed a high fever at around 6 months and became very thin from then on ...

One leg was saved through 'hilot' (daily massage), so I constantly thank God that at least I am fortunate enough to be able to walk.


other sizes: small medium large auto
