When I was 14 months old I had a brain tumour removed after a 90 minute grand mal seizure from my right temporal lobe. I was very lucky as it was benign, however it has left me blind in my right eye.

I can walk on my toes! When I was a little girl I constantly was walking on my toes. I can still do it today however not for very long.
