This happened about a year ago. Yes, it is my arm. This is what can happen if you slip and fall and you try to stop your fall by resting the arm on a surface. Unfortunately the surface was the cooking range where there was boiling water in the pan where my arm found a resting place. I fell all the same and within a few minutes the medical help arrived and carted me off to the hospital for treatment on my burns. After a couple of hours they released me with a bandaged arm smothered in ointment. Today you cannot see anything although the top layer of skin was burnt away. And yes, as you can see, it was quite gruisome.

Oh noooo can’t even imagine the pain of it. Did they give you painkillers or numbing agents???

I had some different creams to rub in, but the pain was not so bad. Just when it was healing it was a bit “itchy”.

Wow, Pat. Maybe less pain receptors in that area…

No scars or anything.

I did that. Tripped over a piece of wood and landed with my hand flat on my hot wood stove. I had to push down to keep from continuing the fall and burning my face. Definitely gruesome! I’m glad we both healed up!
