Dear everyone,
Thank you all for your messages and healing / anti-scaring suggestions.
The hand is doing ok, I'm happy to report. The burn is still a little sore but at least it's healing, I can tell. The pharmacist gave me some Vaseline infused bandages that I'm to put over the burned area for a few days to keep it "greased". Apparently this speeds up the skin regeneration and avoids the scaring.
I've changed the bandages a couple of times since Friday and, although the skin is a horrid red/purple color that I'm not sure is going to go away anytime soon, at least there is only one (big) blister... originally I thought we were talking about several.
I'm purposely avoiding pics, not a pretty sight right now, but as I said, no pain to report and hand in usable conditions to go work tomorrow.... so.... whou-houuuu!.... (I guess?).
Fned.

BIG SIGH OF RELIEF! Take care of your poor little hand, darling fned and don't worry too much. Sounds like it's not fun to go through such an experience, but at least it wasn't worse. I know you'll be all better soon. Still, take it easy at work tomorrow.
Meanwhile, let me just say, I love your song of the day by Amy McDonald. Very nice!
hehe ay Fned!!!! it is a good thing you are doing ok. I agree, take it easy at work ;)and oh get so ready for Christmas!!!!
very glad to hear that Fned!!
I'm so glad you are doing ok. But that sucks that it's still looking ugly! Hopefully the doc's advice is good and that the stuff he gave you will help heal you nice and pretty :)
OH...Poppy and I are so thankful your hand is healing. So sorry it had to happen, but with your good care of it, we're sure you will be good as new soon.
Wishing you well.
Love,
MiMi
Hang in there, Fned.
Ouch!
Take care Fned.
Oh my gosh you poor thing! I just read both blogs now! Sounds nasty. Glad it's healing though. Rest up, lots of fluids and keep doing what you're doing.
Now that that's out of the way, can we sue the mo fo's for having scortching hot soup? It happens and people win....
I'm glad to hear you're healing, but I'm so sorry you gut burned in the first place! And those 40 euros could have been better spent on other things I'm sure, although it sounds like these days that amount of money would barely get you a really nice sandwich :) Cuidate mucho.
