I have hydrocephalus which is an excessive amount of spinal fluid that has built up on my brain. The spinal fluid damaged all the nerves in my eyes it's irreparable unfortunately.

Hi Alaina, and welcome to the forums.

ok to be honest I got a kick out of how your ipad would be saying the word spunky.

First off.. I hope you ate that banana in your video soon, it looked ready to turn! Also, you do know that you should make a new video for our forums, right? I just think you should because most of that first one. had the camera pointed at the ripe banana, and if those bastards over at the thinking atheist didn't tell you, then they don't deserve to be referenced in the first place!

Anyways, I have been liking your posts, and am happy to have you around! You're welcome to join the Bunny club (my avatar is the Monty Python killer rabbit). We bunnies love all!

Squeal! I love bunnies! Bunnies are the awesomest! I know nobody told me that my camera was pointed at A banana. But yes I can we make my video for your website sure thing.

aww aren't you a cute wittle wabbit?
You're so in the bunny club now.. how old are you? And where are you from?

Please do make a new video, and go slower this time so I can see your pretty face!

Oh damn. Well, maybe one day medical science will make bionic eyes a reality. That would be so boss. How old were you when you were declared blind?

Yeah, I have a lot of admiration for those who are blind - a lot of us cannot fathom the idea and yet here is someone like yourself who appears to handle it like a champ.

Hello everyone!

It started going when I was 13 but I've been like this since I was 17

And they made bionic eyes but they're mostly for people in the military, i'm not eligible

They made bionic eyes? Holy shit, where was I. Of course they're only for the military though, fucking America. Well, I hope it spreads to the rest of the public soon.

I have hydro as well. Shunted right side VP, last revised (thankfully) 1988. Secondary to spina bifida. Never knew about the blindness connection, but it makes sense.

ETA: correction to 1988
