Crying out of graft eye

Postby craigthornton » Sat 30 Dec 2006 9:20 pm

I have noticed that when crying, tears in my grafted eye only leak out of the corner away from the nose, rather than just generally all over the eye as in the non-grafted one.

Is this just common while the new graft heals, or does it always stay like this?

I feel like a doll!

awww craig, why u been crying?

When I got admitted because of the leak, Im not sure if it was the drops or the bandage lens or just being in hospital again, I cried that night, but it was because I was in so much pain, it was like a throbbing pain in my eyeball...not nice.

Usually i cry at everything, but i've been good lately, but when my eye waters, it does so at the corner nearest my nose. Its being doing so quite a lot today on and off.

If I have a good old bubble in the next few days i'll let u know.

I was watching a Doctor Who episode, Girl In The Fireplace, and it's the end where he goes back to France to get Madame Pompadour but he's misjudged the time difference and gets there just after she's died. The combination of David Tennant's acting and the music gets me every time
:oops:

I'm not a prude by any means, but found it such a romantic episode in today's smut that passes for TV. Pleased it was David Tennant though, wouldn't have been the same with gurning Christopher Eccleston!

I agree about David Tennant's acting. The other one that gets me was when Billie Piper was drawn through the vortex to the alternate reality where she lives on with her own mother her original boyfriend and her alter-dad.

DT was pcitured against the physical wall in Torchwood HQ that marked the place where the pprtal had opened. The camera work, the pathos in his eyes, and I suppose the music is a sure-fire tear jerker.

As to the tears not coming from the innder corner of your eye, I have never heard of this. Mention it next time you go to the ophthalmologist.
