Well, this has been a jolly good week. As well as the appointment on Monday where they said all's well, see you in September, two more good things have happened:
1. My hair is growing back in my no-longer-entirely-bald patches! it's very short and fine at the moment, but it looks the right colour - need to wait for it to get a bit longer to see if the texture is going to be different or not.
2. The DVLA have decided they are happy for me to drive. Because none of my doctors had said I shouldn't drive, it's been fine for me to carry on driving while they did their investigation (which started in early June). They have restricted me to a 3-year licence, which is fair enough - it forces me to inform them of any changes, which I would have done anyway but I know not every driver would be so minded. They've also removed my licence to drive a minibus or a 3.5-7.5 tonne vehicle, which as you may suspect will affect me not one jot!
As with the earlier news, these are things that were expected. But it's very pleasing for all three things to come together and all be as good as expected - the hair re-growing may even be ahead of schedule, I'm sure they said allow a 12-18 months for it to be back to normal.
