Day 10

Day 10

The past two nights I've had a restless sleep, and the information that came with Efudex said that using it could cause insomnia. As if I needed yet another factor that takes a toll on my appearance and good nature! I am so glad I can stay home while I'm doing this.

I feel a bit more nausea today, another documented side effect. I took an Aspirin this morning because my stinging face, although not unbearable, is a bit distracting.

A helpful thing to do when I look at all these blemishes coming up is to remember that they were hidden and will be going away soon, and ideally they won't be there to possibly pop up one day as cancer. When I think of that, I feel very fortunate. And it helps knowing this is temporary. Just four more days...

Last night I pulled an animal card from my Power Animal Oracle Cards deck (electronic version), and I pulled the Swan randomly. Guess what it represents? Finding the beauty inside ourselves and in Mother Nature. Efudex has shown me how attached I am to my outside appearance (I know...SHALLOW!), and this experience has gently pushed me to ask more about what's on the inside, the other hidden parts of Adrienne.
