Be still my Heart and know God's quietness. Be still my body and know God's renewal. Be still my mind and know God's peace. Much love to all of you from the members of Polio Outreach of Spokane. When our bodies experience danger, pain alerts us to the threat.
Children learn their basic behaviors within boundaries established by pain.
For those of us suffering from the effects of Polio and Post Polio Syndrome, pain serves more than as a guidance tool. Ever present pain reminds us of our very unique set of circumstances. It causes us to adhere to a pattern of learned skills and life style techniques that we individually design to minimize pain's intensity. When I overdo or go beyond my normal activity limits, I experience increased pain. I am responsible for that pain because I am in charge of my behavior.
