Much better. I no longer need to wear bandages but it’s 6 months until my skin is back to normal they said. No direct sunlight and lotion 3x a day. Right not it looks like rare to medium rare prime rib in color.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you’re feeling better. When it happened to me, the thing that haunted me was the smell, and I was very anxious for a few decades about having to perform the activity that caused it, but I couldn’t avoid it and eventually got over myself.
Trauma from things like this is normal. How long ago did it happen to you?
When I talked to the staff in the burn unit they got pressure cooker injuries all the time which is wild to me. They even had a whole form I had to fill out both times I went in which was all about identifying how much trauma I was experiencing.
Ouch, burn care was a lot different then. I can only imagine how it hurt. I know the first few days after mine I didn’t think I could do it. Caring for the wounds hurt so much.
I can remember that it was extremely painful and that blisters were coming a few days after the initial burn, but I don’t remember the exact pain., thankfully. And I remember the family that was there for me as I healed. You’ll be tender for a bit; but I daresay you will remember your wife’s support long after your new skin is not tender. I’m glad you have good support and a good attitude. That’s key to healing.
Looks great! I love the colors.
How is your burn?

And thank you on the colors!

Several decades ago 😅

Without a doubt, my wife is the best! She’s my favorite and I tell her that all the time.
It’s amazing being married to my best friend.
This warms my heart so much. Thank you. My best to you and your family. ❤️
