Police officers Nick Weston and Amanda Lovegrove have come to this housing project in Hackney, a London borough northeast of the city center, to investigate reports of a knife attack.

When we woke up, she was fine, but I had a fever, was in terrific pain and could not walk. After rushing me to the hospital and seeing me go through two spinal taps, my parents heard the dreaded diagnosis: polio. I had paralysis in both legs, my back, right arm, diaphragm and lungs.
