Burn Update

Well here we have the 2 legs together.

I was making breakfast today and this is exactly how the eggs fell in the bowl. I swear to god I did nothing to make them do this. I had loaded the bowl and went to mix it after tossing out the shells and saw this.

So I got the courage to take a bath cold bath to wash my wounds and hair. It was very painful. The skin is thin and ready to rub or roll off especially the deflated blisters that burst. I only have tiny blisters left smaller than a dime speckled all over my legs. All the big juicy ones have bust mostly in the bath when I was washing with a towel.
This is my stomach burns still red and sore but no more blisters.
This would be the outside of my right thigh the red patch near my knee had since been rubbed off by brushing up against the couch and is now raw flesh showing. I'm frustrated that I cant wear any bandages the ER doc said just let it breath. It weeps constantly I carry tissue with me not to blow my nose but to catch the dribble down my legs.
This is the inside of left thigh
This is the inside of my right thigh. it consists of mostly the top layer of skin just loose and waiting to be rubbed off, but I am scared to do it cuz the raw skin hurts more.


My cute boyfriend lays out everything he carries in his pockets on the bed in a neat and orderly fashion based of each pockets having its own pile it melts my heart when I see this. he will also streighten out the remotes on the sofa when we are hanging out watching TV.

I am So Dumb.....

So... Yesterday I had back surgery. I had an internal epidural steroid injection with 2 nerves being severed to reduce pain I have. I hate water so to stay hydrated all day I drink caffeine free Ices tea. I like to make it myself . I boil water and pour it into a thermos and throw in 2 bags of tea, my favorite flavor from starbucks " calm ". Well last night I was going through tea quickly, so i decided to make a triple batch of tea and store it in the fridge till I needed it. So, I got a glass pitcher that I use in the summer when its hot, i didn't think about it being 39 degrees outside last night. As I poured boiing hot water in the glass pitcher it shattered on the counter in front of me and all the hot water came splashing onto my legs. I was wearing sweat pants and a hoodie. As I pulled my pants off my skin pealed off with it. My boyfriend Ryan called the paramedics as iIstarted to go into shock. THIS IS MY RIGHT LEG
Right leg again
my Left leg
this is leaving the hospital the skin was rolling off i have seccond degree burns on 60% of the front of my thight on the right, and 30 % of my left leg and about 12 inches by 3 inches across my stomach.

This is my right neg the next morning (today Saturday 11/22/08) the shinny part is raw skin where the top layer just pealed off after the blisters pop. you can see the yellosh spots are the newest blister getting full
This is my left leg the next morning the big red patch is raw skin and the is blister you can see right next to it on the inner thigh that os the size of a silver dollar and hangs like a nut sack, I think its the next to burst.
Left leg again you can see the nutsck blister a little better here. Look closley the skin is ripping over it.
Outer part of my right leg next day. So I'm off work till 12/1/08 at least. As you can imagine I cant wear pants and its difficult wearing a skirt but at least I'm covered. I have to lift the front of the skirt off my legs when I walk its really embarrassing. They sent me home with 40 morphine tabs. I'm taking 2 /15 mg morphine every 3 hours and an additional on 30 min later if the pain isn't being reduced. I have to get a follow up and probably see a urn specialist before heading back to work. I have to file for disability on Monday.

My sweet boyfriend took me to Walgreens at 330 am to get medications on the way home form the emergency room. He bought me a tuperwear pitcher to use from now on to make my tea. I was so scared to make a new pot last night but I did, you have to get back up on the housre so to speak. This time I put the pitcher in the sink just in case it wanted to melt and burst, but it did great.

Well morphines is kicking in time for a nap.
