My grandmother had tetanus, in her mid 80’s. At the time she was the oldest person in the US to survive it. She recovered well, but the tetanus made her hearing worse and changed her from a woman who shoveled snow and was tough, to a frail woman. I’m glad she survived but it is a very rough disease.

i realize that this is going to sound really gross…but i am sooo jealous. i’ve never even seen a case of tetanus. i’ve been a neuro nurse for 35 years and have always thought that tetanus along with rabies are the ultimate test of nursing.
