Meningitis in your words
Amy Winskill

When I had meningitis I was five weeks old and along with the meningitis I also had hydrocephalus.

"I now have a squint in my left eye"

Because of this I now have a squint in my left eye, and also two ventricular shunts, one either side of my head, and without these I wouldn't be alive today.
