Polio

I had contracted polio at the age of 39. I was sailing and I fell out and into the water. Later I felt chilled and soon my leg was become saggy; it wouldn't move as well. Soon my other leg began not to work and I couldn't feel them. The pain in my legs was so bad and the doctors could do nothing because they didn't have a diagnosis. I spent most of my time after that in a wheelchair. I had become afraid of fire at the time because he was in a wheelchair; I later learned how to drag myself across the floor. I spent most of my finances on building a spa at my beach house. Even though I had this terrible disease, that didn't stop me from making a difference in our world.When I had to deliver speeches, I would usually have two people hold me up or I would hold on to something. I tried to keep my disease a secret for political reasons. I never recovered from my disease; I remained paralyzed for my presidency until I died. His Georgia beach House is now called "the little White House" for people with Physical disabilities.
