Dry cornea & facial paralysis after middle cranial fossa

I just had the middle cranial fossa surgery on August 26th for a accoustic neuroma. Tumor was removed but was also stuck to my facial nerve. My understanding is that immediately post op, things looked pretty good but I did develop facial paralysis as the swelling and inflammation increased. Facial nerve responded to their tests appropriately and surgeons assure me things will get better with time. I am only 23 days post-op so I know it is early but would love to hear from others that suffered this post-op situation. Am currently doing pt and hoping to get an appt with a speech therapist asap.
