second degree burns suck..

but at least the nicer sunsets are back

if i may swear a bit – HOLY SHIT i’m in pain. goddamn newly poured, hot water bottle had a tear in it, and being a target for accidents lately – it’s gone an emptied it’s contents all over my right hip (and the floor), leaving a red mark and a girl in tears. i don’t think i’ve ever been so quick to stand up and throw something off me. hopefully it won’t scar too badly (check back in a few months), but i feel a big ass blister coming on.. ahahrhahghaghah the painnn the pain of it allll. it’s like tiny needles being scraped across skin while someone’s giving you a chinese burn. i need some distraction from it, which is why i’m here being pyschotic about it.

if anyone has any good hot water burn tips, let me know! i’m going to hate having a blister in that particular spot. i’ll have to wear elastic pants for weeks. ughghhg.

good news? i forgotten about my swollen fingers (arthritis).

i promise – next entry i won’t be as much of a cry baby.

Ow you poor thing. I got a little burn on my hand just from leaning on the outside of the hotwater bottle while sleeping and that hurt enough :p hope it’s not too bad.

Yeah! Aloe Vera is very good! Fresh ones are perfect. But you can also get the Aloe Vera gels from Banana Boat (the same people who produce sunblocks and sun tanning lotions).

Hey Tracey, keeping oxygen off a burn (especially right after the incident) helps with the pain. So maybe you could try putting some sort of bandage over it.
