(Backblip)

An unusual day to travel to my place in Buckinghamshire from Mum’s, but I had a GP appointment about the insect bites I received six weeks ago, as the marks are still there above my top lip and I’m very self-conscious about them. Even with concealer on them, they can still be seen because they are raised circles with a hole in the middle - it looks as if I’ve got something catching! My GP thought at first they were a cold sore, but I soon corrected her on that one. Anyway, she just said to leave them for another few weeks and go back if they were still as bad then. I also asked her if I could please have a bone scan, in view of Mum’s very serious osteoporosis. She’s applied for that on my behalf, as she said I have a medium risk of having it myself because Mum has it.
