Sock it To Me
December 27, 2023
Started my second bout of Efudex (first one in 2014 at about this time of year). This will make most of the next month weird. I’m a bit creeped out by smearing such heavy duty chemicals all over my face, especially knowing it’s going to penetrate the skin and attack cancer cells. Killing would be cancer cells is a good thing, of course, but it’s just weird. Hard to feel relaxed. I know it will be uncomfortable.. like a super bad sunburn when it ramps up (in about a week), maybe worse than that, if my experience last time is any indication.
Anyway, started it yesterday and tonight completed my fourth application. Four down, 38 to go. (Twice a day for 21 days.)
These took my mind off of my impending misery! They arrived in the mail anonymously and it took a couple hours of sleuthing to arrive at just who was responsible (Maya!). Sweetest gift ever.
She’d found this picture deep in my Facebook photo archive and ordered photo socks from a company called divvyupsocks dot com.
I could not love them more, or her for making them. Heart.
