BURNED

The day started out quite well, eating a nice breakfast, and went for basketball games. Although I was late because I wasn't informed on the change of time. I still enjoyed myself.

I had too much time to kill before I needed to go for volleyball games. So I headed to supermarket to cool myself with an ice-cream snack. Games today went pretty smoothly and I kind of enjoyed myself in whole today.

Things turned for the worst after i returned home. I was halfway through baking my first cheesecake (photos of which I will upload later when its done), and getting my dinner ready. I had a pot of chicken soup being heated to prevent it from spoiling. I was trying to transfer the amount I needed to a smaller pot to cook the vegetables in it when the pot slipped and poured its contents to me. I was wearing a thick pants at the moment and it soaked up all the soup which made the pants really hot. Lucky me, I had my knowledge on emergency medicine revised this week and knew how to act. I had to take off my pants to remove heat source but seems like I had to take off my undies as it was also soaked.

I then ran to the bathroom to run ice cold water on the burn sport as taught by our teachers so that the burn surface and severity might be decreased. This also helped by numbing my pain senses.

After running water on the site for about 5 min. I felt well enough and went back to my room to dress myself (yes, I ran from the kitchen to the bathroom naked, lucky for me my house was empty, or so I thought) and to have a look at how badly i hurt myself. The first picture was taken at that moment. I then went back to the kitchen to clean up the mess. But soon found the pain unbearable and went back to the bathroom to run it under water again. I then went back to the kitchen to finish clearing up my stuff before taking my shower (if you remembered, I just came back from sports when all these happened)

The next photo was taken after my bath. Suddenly I heard one of my friends room door open. I thought I was alone at home but seems like I was wrong. I shouted for her help and asked her if I needed to call an ambulance. We decided against it.

Here I am now, still in pain while writing this entry. My fingers were also burned and that was one of the less sever sites as no blister formed. But I can't even type for a minute before I have to press my fingers on a cold pack i prepared for myself to ease the pain.

Hope that I'll get well soon.
