I'm in a ton of pain right now. I just burned the hell out of my leg. I just wanted some spaghetti! Hot water down most of my thigh to the knee ;.; Four squares of gauze to cover most of it, but it fricken hurts ;.;!!! I covered the area with neosporin pre-gauzing, but my leg feels like it's on fire >.<

I HATE MY TONKSWAYS >.< !!!!

Well, I still ate most of the spaghetti. I figure, if it burned me, I'm going to eat the noodles in defiance.

I think I'll be fine, once the initial pain stops. I took some tylonal, so it's down to a moderate itch that I can handle. But ten minutes ago it was so bad I was crying >.<.

... Maybe this is a sign making spaghetti at 12 o'clock in the morning is not allowed XD

;-; did you ice it, or at least run cold water over it?

I'm sorry, Kol, it sounds like we have to amputate it. I'll be over in a minute with my hacksaw. Put down some plastic or something so your carpet doesn't get ruined.

Seriously though, get well <3 Tylenol is awesome <3

KOL! Make sure it's cream Neosporin and not the gel kind, as the gel will just seal your skin closed from the air and not let it breathe. Sometimes that'll make the burn worse.

If it's any consolation...I spilled every single beverage I got my hands on this weekend. EVERY ONE. I have to reshampoo my carpets in like three places. But, none of them were scalding hot, so, you win. XD Poor Kol.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea there was a difference between the two. That explains why my first aid kit had 2 kinds of Neosporin in it ^.^;;

Maybe dippy cups are in order-- I've been spilling beverages myself lately XD

So it waiting impatiently for Bonds to rejoin the Giants tonight at 7pm. IT IS MY INSTANT HEALING THEN.

... we'll amputate my leg only after you switch to eating beef 24-7 :P

Ice is actually bad for 2nd degree burns-- cool water compress before neosporin is apparently what you are suppose to do. Right now I have it covered in neosporin, gazed, and then wrapped with the clingy-self-adhesive wrap stuff.

Thankfully I only have 3 blisters that popped up, and the burns on the left leg have pretty much disapeared :D. I'll be ok in a few weeks, I don't think there will be any big damage as long as I take care of the wound.

... I was going to take pictures but I can't find my camera ;.;. I found the USB cord though XD
