Seals

[stoutfellow]

One drawback I've found to Bell's palsy is that, though I can close my right eye if I also close my left, I don't get a tight seal on the right. I discovered this when I washed my hair and got shampoo in my right eye. I have since learned how to minimize the chance of that, but it requires a good deal of care.

A few days ago, I discovered another consequence of the poor seal, when Gracie (cuddlebug that she is) started licking my face. Of course, I closed my eyes, but... well, you can guess the rest.
