HOT WATER

for those who dont know already last tuesday i got a pretty bad burn on my stomach. i was making dinner and went to pour out some boiling water. i was holding the strainer in my left hand and the too heavy pot in the other and when i went to dump it out i wasnt strong enough with one hand and the water poured on my stomach above my belly button and i got a burn about 3in x 6in. i cant even tell you how badly it hurt. i cant imagine ever getting a bigger worse burn. i follow nieniedialogues and she was in a plane crash with her husband he was the pilot and burned 80% of her body. she was in a coma for a month or more, i cant imagine going through that. my burn was tiny compared to her accident. i am so thankful that my burn wasnt worse. when i got burned i called my mom who is a wound specialist in idaho and she told me what to do. im so glad i didnt have to go to the hospital. i have new skin growing where the burn is and it itches really bad. i hope we stay burn free for the rest of my life :)
