Hopes for a nice lie in have gone out the window, I ended waking up at 7:30! Think my body clock's used to getting up early now after the last few days. Starting to feel it a bit now though.

Overall conclusion of my little trip: My flare ups are going to have to be controlled a little better before I can think about having anything done. So lots of blood was taken, (over 10 tubes :/) along with some photographs and lots of questions answered.

I definately feel better for having going but got a slight niggle now, wish I would've asked a bit more about the procedure/s as the consultants talked about fat transfer to my face but I'm wondering where they're going to get it from as I haven't got much left to be taken after the Lipodystrophy! And even less if I have another flare! And will anything be done about the fat lost from my body.. I guess there's lots of time to go into this though. I just hope something can be sorted.

Anyway,my next appointment's in January so I guess I best try to start saving some pennies.. and hope that I'm well enough to go around this time!

Hope everyone has a happy Sunday :)

Yes they're definately not something to look forward to are they. Got a feeling will be re-appearing soon. But yes, let's hope! I guess we've just got to try to make the most of things while we're able.

I wish you well too.
