Eye Tearing, but still no blinking
« on: October 03, 2007, 08:58:05 pm »
My eye has started to tear again.  While that is good news, my eye still doesn't blink so the tears pool in my eye until it gets too heavy and I "cry" a big tear every so often.  Luckily I have my students bringing me tissues when they see it, since I can't feel on that side of my face.  Anybody else have the same thing happen?  What do you do?
