on saturday night i burned my hands on very, very hot soup (there is a whole backstory here which i won't bore you with unless you ask me to). at first reaction i thought it was a bummer and then it really started to cook my skin and i started screaming. we weren't at home so it took me a minute to run and find a faucet for cold water. since i was holding the container of soup at the time, both hands were burned in multiple places. short of the long, i ended up going to urget care because i was in a lot of pain and unsure how to treat it.
the doctor said i scored first and second degree burns on my hands (mostly my left hand, so writing is a total pleasure) and sent me home with antibiotic healing ointment, super strength ibuprofen, and gauze. i lathered on the ointment and slept with gauze wrapped hands that night. i must say, i am very impressed with how much they healed over night, but they are still quite tender!
my wonderful aaron has taken great care of me, including washing my hair for church on sunday (hot shower water does not feel good on the hands). he has been the gauze king, an extension of my hands, and a hairdresser. thank you for helping me!
hot soup on the hands is one mistake i will not be making again!

good night! what a shame. i dislike hearing of your pain. thank goodness aaron has again proved his mettle. may you mend quickly and peacefully.
that is SO sad! it reminds me of when Esther burned her hands (also first and second degree burns) by leaning against our gas furnace. she screamed/cried for an hour, had huge blisters, and then for the next two weeks she would look at her hands sadly and say, "oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh." it was kinda cute.
i'm so glad you have an awesome husband to take care of you!
