I’m quite a veteran of burning myself in the kitchen, but the other day I did something super ridiculous and touched red hot broiler with the back of my hand. Oh man! I agree on the icy water thing. It makes all the difference. And no dishwashing for me neither :)
I hope it heals fast. Prepare yourself for a very weird pulling sensation when your body is working on patching it up. Good luck!

Oh, poor you! my greatest sympathies!

For future reference, cool water is recommended over icy water. Hope you heal quickly!

best,
Ella

Ow! :( Burns are like SO painful – so keep taking those dizzy pills. Hope the healing goes well.

I literally gasped when I read that. OMG.

I know this sounds woefully uncool, but I hate percocet. Things that are supposed to make you feel better should not give you a freaking hangover after they wear off. The last time I got a script for it, I ended up just drinking Jameson instead.

Take care of yourself, lady.

It”s really quite amazing how little it hurts. The best way to describe it that most of you will understand is like day 2 of a big tattoo when the skin is tight and a little warm feeling and you don’t want to move it around too much for fear that it will crack open.

After tomorrow i think my tune will change, I’m anticipating serious pain, I already know the bandages are totally stuck on.

Oh mama! I hope your hand gets better soon!

My dad had a horrible burn experience once with a fresh-out-of-the-oven Shepherd’s Pie landing on his foot. Burns are not pretty.

OUCH! Sounds really terrible and from your writing, you are really tough and brave. Last year I got burned by hot (but not cooking) water on the back of my left hand and I was absolutely amazed and shocked at how badly that hurt and it was only a slight first degree burning.

I really hope it gets better soon and send you a big HUG!

I wish a mum’s kisses were enough to make it all better. So here’s a big bunch anyway, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wow that sounds brutal. I’ve never been burned that bad so I have no idea how painful it can be. But clearly it must be horrid if they gave you Percs! I hope you get well quick!
