Third degree burns..........

I did a very stupid thing yesterday.

I managed to insert a hot, sharp wire, covered in molten hot glue, under a fingernail.

OUCH doesn't even come close.

Despite dousing the finger in icy water, it has blistered badly, although thankfully the searing pain, which persisted for 6 hours, has mostly subsided, and at least I can use my hand again now.

Stupid, STUPID woman.........



EDIT -I really tried to find a funny image to accompany this post, but apparently third degree burns are nothing to laugh about.

Who knew?

So instead I decided to go with the PainGuinn.

Luckily a few glasses of wine helped ease the pain a little ;-)x

Oooh I went all unnecessary thinking about that. It must hurt so much.

Tip - get some of those plastic ice cubes - the ones with water inside that you put in the freezer. I occasionally lower my fingers into the oil when I am frying eggs in the morning and I find that holding one of those against the burn prevents it blistering or certainly reduces the blisters and takes the pain away. I find the best thing is to keep the burn dry but get it as cold as you can and these icecubes do the trick for me.
