So long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye...

Well this is probably the last post I will be writing from my flat in London! Yes, the time has come for me to leave. After 11years in the United Kingdom, I am returning to Hong Kong for at least 1 year but possibly more. I'm going back to study a Masters but truth be told, if I get a job or find something else to do after I will probably stay there, at least for a couple of years.

There are things I love about London: the vibrant West End, the free museums, my beautiful flat... But there are also things that I dislike about the place and after what I've been through in the last few years, I just feel like it's time I went home.
Funny word, HOME. More than ever I think the expression: "Home is where the heart is", has become applicable to me.
Being a nomad and having travelled so much in my life I often feel like I'm not sure where home really is. I find it difficult to tell people Hong Kong or France or London are my homes because there's reasons for and against that being true. Honestly, I think it shouldn't matter! It's only geography...
When I'm with my family and surrounded by people who love me I feel at home. But sometimes, after spending a long time with them in France or HK, I yearn to return to London where I feel comfortable because I know how things work and I've gotten used to the way of life.
I never thought I'd say this but I think I'll missed being called darling or babe.

8 Months- 240 days- 5760 hours- 345 600 minutes

That's how long it's been since I had my pituitary surgery! Actually, the exact anniversary date was the 20th of May but I've been a bit too busy to post lately.
In fact, this will be a short(ish) post because I'm in France at the moment visiting my family and the set up isn't great.
The main thing I wanted to share is that I had an appointment with my endocrinologist last Thursday and she gave me some great news. She said that after having reviewed all my blood and urine tests it appears that: "From a medical point of view you no longer have Cushing's".
