I scalded my torso badly in the shower last night - it's just shading into a second-degree burn, but it covers a wide area. I have had invaluable support and looking-after from ladyfrances and crocodlewings. We called NHS Direct and the advice was to go to A&E in the morning to get it dressed. Lucy and I have just woken up, so we are probably heading off there shortly. I am ok. It hurt a lot and I was very wobbly last night, but after a night covered in frozen vegetables it feels much better and is generally no more than uncomfortable. I will probably be online later, I can't say for sure. I think I am going to be fairly immobile this weekend letting it recover. Fortunately I think I have no plans.

My phone is out of commission as it is out of charge and I have lost the charger, so trying to call me is futile right now. Rikk may be able to buy me a new one today, and I'll post if that works out.

This sounds terrible.

I hope you get good help and heal quickly.

Can your hot water be turned down - sounds like it probably ought to be...

Poor you *kiss*

I'm glad I got to talk to you last night, even in such unpleasant circumstances. I hope we get to chat on MSN later.

*cuddle*

after a night covered in frozen vegetables

Very sorry to hear you were hurt and hope better soon, but you must admit that is rather an amusing image.

[taimatsu]

Yeah, I have completely defrosted a bag of mixed veg and a bag of peas belonging to miscellaneous housemates...

Ouch! That sounds painful. Poor lucy *huuuuuuuuuuuugs* Hope you feel better soon.

When am I next going to see you?

[imc.livejournal.com]

Ouch! I hope you get well looked after (and have the shower fixed).

BTW, need an extra "i" in crocodilewings I think.

[crocodilewings.livejournal.com]

There is no 'i' in crocodlewngs.

[mhw.livejournal.com]

Agh, poor you! Definitely a good idea to get it seen; large areas should always be looked at.

I hope all proves well! *careful scald-avoiding hug*

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

Oh, ack. :-(

Glad you're being well looked after.

[randomchris.livejournal.com]

Ouch. That sounds rather nasty. Get well soon!

[goodqueenmolly.livejournal.com]

Oh lovely I have been so worried about you. I hate not being there to take care of you *kisses you gently*

[liriselei.livejournal.com]

yikes ! hope it gets better soon.

[lethargic-man.livejournal.com]

Wishing you a speedy and maximally painless recovery.

[gnimmel.livejournal.com]

Eek :(
Hope it gets better soon.

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

If it covers a wide area, it's serious. Do get it looked at!!!! *hugs*

[taimatsu]

I have done - no need to worry. I have bandages and paraffin jelly and BLISTERS! Woo yeah! ;)

Oh my goodness. That sounds even worse than what my mum did. She tried to inhale with hot salt water and dropped the bowl with the hot water on her lap. Her legs were burnt. I was in a complete shock. I was little at that time and did not know what to do. She let cold water run over it. Your area is much more sensisitive. Ouch!
I hope you get well looked after and heal very soon.
E-hugs from me, too.

That sounds very painful!

I am not feeling too bad now - I am sore, but I can get around the house and look after myself ok. The only problem is that I really needed to wash my hair when I tried to have that shower, and I haven't been able to since then because I would get the bandages wet! So I feel all horrible and greasy. I think when I go to the hospital tomorrow to have the bandages changed I will ask how I should wash myself.

[curious-reader.livejournal.com]

I am glad to hear that. I like being independant, too. I can imagine it is difficult to wash. I would not feel confi either. I hope you can do it soon again.
