my history with epilepsy

Sun, 09/15/2019 - 21:59
Hi my name is Kayla. When I was a baby I had a brain tumor in my left temporal lobe of my brain that caused me to have epilepsy when I was around two and three years old I tried to take medication to control my seizures but medication never worked. By the time I was seven I had surgery and I’ve been been seizure free since. but do to the surgery I ended up with a blind spot in my right eye we’re I can see what’s in front of me but I can’t see what’s behind me. And do to the surgery I’m not able to wear glasses
