I've had a hemispherectomy (half my brain removed) due to Rasmussen Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that affected one side of my brain. As a result, I have left-sided weakness and a visual field loss on that side too. I use a crutch to help with balance, and for longer distances I use a wheelchair. I do experience seizures from time to time, but they're being carefully managed.
