Burns suck :(

[Feek]

I expect comments from people saying this is nothing and that they've been burned much worse (Treefrog) but this hurts!

Odds on a big blister tomorrow?

If it hurts, it's not serious

Yeah, I know it's not massively serious. But ouch

 

[Feek]

Ouch! Cooker?

Remember I broke my shoulder a year or so ago rescuing children from a burning orphanage?

I was rescuing those same kids from their burning orphanage again when a two bar electric fire slipped and fell on my hand.

(yes, cooker, I was taking out a roasting tray and caught my hand on the shelf above)

Since this is GD, I shall uphold the traditions:

Not bad, not bad at all

I had radiation burns over 70% of my body.

I like the cut of your jib, very good.

what is really disproportionate? fingernails, in terms of amount of agony from damage to a not particularly useful/relevant bit of the body.

Toenails too. My wife said an ingrowing big toenail is more painful than giving birth.

Might have got away without a blister. Mrs. Feek has some magic cream which she uses for burns and it's supposed to stop blisters forming.

we need a name of the brand!

It's called Acriflex and it has to be the orange tube, not the blue one.

I still have those photos.

Please don't post them, I've seen them and they're horrible. He was very lucky to survive.

squishy bit just after the thumb

Pretty much exactly where I've burned myself in the picture?

Are you sure you should be left alone unaccompanied?

I don't think I should

Click on the link above and where the fence is behind the buildings was an electricity station that powered Trentham.

Here's the news item but I don't remember ever seeing a follow up. I never asked Jim about it afterwards.

Coming along nicely, still no blister.

As for the odds on a big blister, I won't take that bet. I think it's pretty much certain.

Should have taken the bet.....
