Something a little closer to home. We lost my father in law last year, my Dad this year, our youngest has gone off the rails, our savings are shrinking, and I recently became a burn victim. But I’m trying…
Had to visit the burn unit yesterday, turns out burns keep getting worse for up to 72 hours. Hopefully scaring will be minimal.
They just said gentle soap and gave me stuff to put on after.
If you can swing it, I recommend castille soap in liquid form. Otherwise wash your hands and the bar, rinse, then suds the bar with your hands and let the suds wash over the wound. If you can stand it, a light rub with your hands. NGL, it’s not going to be a pleasure cruise. Maybe take some Tylenol about a half hour before, barring contraindications, unless they gave you an opiate, then take it first, instead.
Survived, my wife was an absolute badass!
I don’t know that long C word… My wife says it’s when drugs cancel each other out.
And I’ve already taken ibuprofen and plan to just muscle through it. I could use a good cry!
You’ve done well! Cry if you need to, no shame in it
