got a meningitis once. My mother is a doctor, so when I told her that my cheek felt weird, she had me do all sorts of weird movements with my face, then discovered that half of it was starting to get paralyzed and told the whole family (we were sitting in an italian restaurant) "The boy's got a facial paralysis. Let's all eat up so we can go to the hospital". Since we did not really wait until the symptoms got any worse (what most people probably would have done since no normal person would have spotted the paralysis that early), I was "only" disabled with several neurological issues for about a month. Had I been to the hospital later... well... chances wouldn't have been great.
