Due to Neurofibromatosis type 2 and many tumours I am blind and deaf. I had to come up with a new form of communication. As a child, I used to play a game with family where we would write letters on each others' back and try to guess what they were. I started asking people to write on my cheek so, when a person would approach, I asked them to spell their name on my cheek, so I know who it is. I chose the cheek because the letters are in the same place for both people.
