burns update

Thank you for all the good wishes yesterday. My trip to the doctors was very satisfying. Apparently we did all the right things in applying first aid to my burns. The doctor said that they will heal up quickly. They put dressings on the burn sites (just three were bad enough to bother), and then put little “socks” over the dressings. The nurse that was doing it said mostly the socks are just to remind me of my injuries!

All the remaining burns are on my right hand, and as you would know, I am left-handed. My left hand seemed to heal up of its own accord overnight. The burns on that hand were only very superficial, so they did not need attention apart from our initial first aid.

I’ll have to go back tomorrow for them to remove the dressings and check the wounds, and that will probably be it. Nice and quick. 🙂 And I am not in any pain any more. Well, if I press on the blistered one, that hurts, but why bother doing that?!

I’d love to say that I’ve learnt my lesson, but in all honesty I’ll probably accidentally do it again one day in a tired and brain-dead moment! Sometimes we just don’t think things through before we act.

I must say that I am looking forward to being able to type again, properly. With these sock things on my fingers, it does make typing a little more clumsy!

I am sorry if I alarmed you yesterday with my post. Thankfully, things are probably not as bad as you might have imagined.
