In this episode of AT Banter, Rob, Lis, and Steve welcomes back best‑selling author and Meningitis advocate John B. Grimes, whose new memoir Destiny Is Debatable: A Memoir of Meningitis, Losing Sight, and the Love I Didn’t See Coming dives deep into survival, disability, and the messy, beautiful business of building a life afterward. John shares how bacterial meningitis took his sight and nearly his life in just days, the “war” of learning to live again through brutal rehab and invisible disabilities, and much more.
