I didn't realise that you don't have to be in an iron lung 24/7. I've learnt something.
Where did you pick up on that?
Pictures show June Middleton with some sort of weird looking copper bowl thing. I guess they make them mobile now?
Hmmm, maybe i've misconstrued:
"It gave her some independence and she was able to go on regular outings, and take annual holidays."
Maybe they are portable then...
