When i was six i got mumps which developed into meningitis after about a week or so. I remember them trying to give me the spinal tap and trying to hide the needle from me so i wouldn't freak out, but i saw it and it was the longest needle i'd ever seen and i completely lost my shit, started screaming and trying to claw my way out of the room. Eventually they calmed me down enough to stick me with it and they told me that if i moved, the needle would break off in my spine and then i'd be in real trouble. And then they quarantined me for 5 weeks, of which i remember about three days. My parents could only talk to me through a glass wall, and everybody that came into my room had to wear face masks. It was horrible. Eventually i got well enough to try an escape attempt, my room wasn't locked so i tried to run after my parents one time they came to see me. The nurses had to chase me down and stick me back in my room, they looked scared as hell i think because they were worried about me contaminating the place. But yeah, what a horrible disease, i feel for you, but at least you're lucky to be alive. Hope you recover!
