It sounds as though you were fortunate in that you were well stocked with supplies, as that was something that crossed my mind, as to how you would cope with that. I had a vision of the willow driving you into town!<BR/><BR/>When I worked in the Photographic industry, we had clients that were medical photographers, so I can imagine just what your wounds look like. Personally, I am less fazed about seeing something, than I am at reading about it, I just imagined the pain of boiling water on my own foot. OUCH!<BR/><BR/>Regarding Lavender Essential Oil, it is great for burns, but only if it can be applied to the skin. As you have lost dermal layers, then Lavender should not be applied as the oil will damage the lower dermis. The cells that need to regenerate the new skin. However, once you have new skin growing, you can use Lavender to help promote the healing and it may help lessen the scaring too. <BR/><BR/>When people do suffer full depth burns (burns that go deeper than the skin), it is fluid loss that can be the greatest danger. As the skin keeps our water in, as I learnt as child in primary school. So it is important to maintain your fluids intake. Keep drinking the coffee no matter how tricky it is to manoeuvre with the crutches. <BR/><BR/>I genuinely hope that you get well soon and that you are back on your hooves, sorry feet soon.Wood Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295731881663492068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588013962006195193.post-92026858478252543612009-01-17T22:58:00.000-05:002009-01-17T22:58:00.000-05:00During the ice storm 2 years ago one of the kids s...During the ice storm 2 years ago one of the kids staying with us fell into the wood stove adn got a second degree burn on her arm. When oneof us get a burn around here I put lavender oil on it.. SO thats what I did for her and then cold wet rag on top of that.. Well with in 2 hours she wasnt even hurting and her dad came in and started pitching a fit and demanded to her mother that they go to the Er. Of course Er said NEVEr put any kind of oil on a burn and so the dad was convinced I had done things wrong. He was mad at me and his wife. He is an idiot most of the time. Anyway she healed fine and lavender works great for most Small burns.It takes the pain and the heat out. I dont know about something like that though sounds sooo painful... Hope you heal fast!Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223141257252367520noreply@blogger.com
