Title: Blinking eye
Post by: er on April 26, 2007, 07:24:37 pm

My daughter in law and grandson or up from Arizona. I had not seen them in almost 2 years. He asked me why my one eye kept blinking, mom tried to have him not ask the question. I told her it was all right. I mention to him since surgery my left side of my face did not work properly so that my good side was still functioning.
Out of the mouth of babies. By asking questions that is how they learn.

Your grandson will tell his friends that grandma "winked" at him the whole trip.  (making him the most popular)   ;) 

I hope you had a wonderful visit there in Oregon. 

Did you go out sight-seeing at all?  (them, from Arizona and I remember reading once, you're in Oregon.

Anyway, I hope you got some pictures and had fun.

   I had Sheree brief all the kids about my eye, voice and face before I came home.  A few days later a friend's daughter looked at me funny and asked, "What's wrong with your lips?"  I just had to smile (Half a smile!) and tell her why they were not working right.  So funny how innocent and sincere children can be when they are curious.

I met a fellow AN veteran a few months after my own surgery and the one thing I noticed was how her eye was blinking all the time. My husband pointed out later that it was her good eye blinking, her other eye didn't blink at all. It probably didn't blink more than a normal person it just seemed that way since only one was working.  And then I realized that's what I looked like...a sobering moment, to say the least.
