Day 3



Ok, well day 3 has been a little more of an adjustment than day 2. I learned today that you do NOT want to sweat, and have the sweat with the efudex in it get in your eyes. I thought sunscreen burned your eyes, doesn't even compare to this stuff on the pain-o-meter.
As you can see, I got a buzz cut today, and the application of the medicine is a lot easier, and I feel like I am able to actually cover the entire scalp fairly evenly now. There are quite a few red splotches showing up this evening, mostly on my forehead, but also on my neck and in my beard. my nose has also gone pretty red.
I noticed today, even this morning on my way to work, that the sun seemed really bright, and the thought of allowing it to hit my skin was repulsing. When I did have to go outside today and the sun hit my head, it felt like my skin would tighten up and start on fire. I am going to keep my head out of the sun.
I also felt a bit nauseous today both times I applied the medicine, but only for about ten or fifteen minutes. I am going to ask my doctor if this is normal.
Overall, today was ok, but I see the progression of this happening faster than I want it to. We are going to try and move out of here a day early, and we may need to drive at night if my eyes and skin are going to be this sensitive to the sun.
I will see how tomorrow goes and report again.
For those of you reading this blog, I need your prayers, I knew from the beginning I wouldn't be able to do this without the blessings only my Heavenly Father can offer and through the atonement of my Savior Jesus Christ. I am keeping the faith.
