Exactly 10 weeks since I started the diary and I am driving; on my feet; not dizzy; have no pains; 90% recovered from the facial paralysis; 95% with my balance; and generally in good spirits.

To dampen my high spirits my car decided not to start again. I managed to get the neighbour to start it with a mains-powered charger and then took it out for a long drive. That should do the trick.
