The Iron Lung

Ed had polio which damaged his respiratory muscles so much that he needed the iron lung to stay alive. He taught himself on his own a technique called frog breathing, where you gulp oxygen into your lungs the way a frog does. Frog breathing meant a person could get out of the iron lung for short stretches of time. The problem is that people around us don't expect ite think about your ownif if you have people taking care of you, making all your decisions, what is there to life? Doi ed was tenacious, but everything was hard. There are very few people evhen with the bost severe disabilities who can't take control of their life.
