I, too, read your blog and don’t ever comment. Until now. I just wanted to say that it hurts to look at the pictures and also to tell you thanks. Thank you for posting this because now I will be a lot more careful with boiling water. It’s so easy to become complacent with simple, daily tasks. I hope your recovery is speedy and as painless as it possibly can be. Best wishes and good luck. :)

When I saw the skin peeling off the very first thing I thought of was the guy that fell into the fire in one of the very first seasons of Survivor and had to be airlifted out. He had the very same instant peeling. That and the Nazis getting melted in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Well hope it’s getting better hon, and if the evil nurse is there let him know you know someone in the states who is armed to the teeth and has access to hog confinements! LOL

Read your blog but never comment. I had a similar burn last summer on my leg, poured boiling water on it accidently (obviously). Did they give you that silver sulfide cream yet? It really helped me. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, we did NOT show them to the kids. I think I’ll be having nightmares!!

We have a huge pot of water on the woodstove, you know to help the house from getting so dry. Make that HAD…

I saw him today but I had doctor #3 and nurse #1, so it all went well. I’m a lot swollen and bled like crazy, but they thought it looked fine and set me up to see a plastic surgeon. I also realized that the rest of the back of my hand is burned too, but first degree so that went unnoticed, eclipsed by the pink shine.

Back for round 4 on Thursday. I know my favorite nurse won’t be there though. She told me she’s extra sympathetic because she’s had 2 bad burns in her life.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I am throwing up inside my mouth.

OW OW OW Did you punch that stupid bandage motherfucker in his balls?

I will never forget having a bandage change by a nurse on my finger. Took once, after that I did it myself.

Have I said HOLY FUCK OW?

OW!

Ugh. We saw some of those little coffee doohickeys in the coffee shop the other day and they freaked me right out, though they were in their boxes.

OW FUCK OW OW OW OW

Feel better soon.

OWW HOLY FUCK OW
