I had another appointment at the hospital a month later. I made progress with the facial movement and within 2 weeks the spots etc had gone.

Went back to the hospital. Had allot more movement in the face and could now close my eye. I was glad to ditch the eye patch.

The consultant told me that I would make an almost 100% recovery but that there would be slight permanent nerve damage that people would not necessarily notice but I would feel it. He also said that I may get an attack of the spots now and then.
