Surviving Meningitis: Amputations, recovery & mindset |Juttima| Episode 16
Just 3 short years ago Juttima experienced the unthinkable. What started out as a normal day for her quickly spiraled into a life-changing moment when she found herself in a hospital bed fighting for her life.
In a matter of hours, she became deathly sick when doctors discovered she had contracted meningococcal meningitis disease. She wakes up (a week later) to find her life and body very different from what she remembered. Juttima takes us through her incredible story of survival, will power and recovery as she made the tough decision to amputate both of her legs and tips of all her fingers in order to continue surviving. She has now become an inspiration to so many across the world as she documents her recovery via social media. She shares the ups and downs of her new life while advocating education about the disease and shares pertinent information about a vaccine that could save so many lives.
