Harsh.
I had a viral meningitis when I was a kid.
It only cost me my hearing.
I was rather lucky.

My son had a round with bacterial meningitis a few years ago. It was a pretty frightening thing to watch, and I can't imagine how it felt for him.
Massive amounts of IV antibiotics saved his life.

A university basketball player here came down with it and ended up losing both arms and both legs.

I have viral meningitis when I was 12. Was in the hospital for 6 months with three shots a day in my legs and had to take bicillen shots once a month until I was 21 years old. Had a full recovery.
