Yesterday while making my roux for gumbo, I got a little too energetic with the whisk, and slopped some out on my wrist holding the pot. Crap, that was like lava!!! Before I could get it wiped off and dunked in cold water, the deed was done. One hour later, it had already started to swell

If you're gonna be stupid, you gotta be tough!

DANG, that gotta hurt! Every time I burn myself, even in the slightest, I think to myself how horrific it would be to get caught in a fire. Hard to imagine.....

Pop those blisters & get well soon!

Ouch. I know a thing or two about a bad burn in the kitchen. I melted all the skin off of the lower half of my right leg...smoking hot cooking oil was spilled. 2 different skin grafting surgeries to get it fixed up, and about 7 months on crutches. I can't quite describe what it's like to watch your skin fall off of your body in huge pieces but it's not fun.

Dang. I feel your pain. Store bought roux for me. Its not great but it beats the alternative.

Oven/Grill heat must be interesting, Get you some CBD and see IF it helps...

Ouch !! Wife has an aloe vera in the kitchen window for when I do crap like that... which is ptetty often

Go read the thread about “Tuff” Hudson and what he went thru and still is. Then suck it up. It’s just a damn burn.

Yeah, Hudson's my Hero. I never said I needed any sympathy. I just wrapped it in a paper towel and duct tape, driving my wife (medical field) crazy!!! It's a guy thing!!!

Been there. Worse than napalm.

The tough gets going when the going gets tough.

Pop those blisters and wash with soap and water then after the sting put some salve on it and good to go.Been there did that.

Been there same spot, baking bread at a restaurant.

That sucks, I hope it heals quick!!

Sorry sir, hope you heal up soon 🙏

That’s a bad spot for a burn - ouch man!

I gave myself a third nipple earlier this month when I bumped into a screaming hot Weber without a shirt on

MeanGreen85 you need to change your handle to Scaramanga.

Vitamin E oil is what I use on any burn now.

A buddy of mine that run a muffler shop always kept mustard in the coke box for burns immediately after you do it . It works Keep in on there till it dries

Vitamin E oil is great and a great healer.

That's why the lord invented this... Perfect every single time as cooked flour is just cooked flour.

I dont’t hink an old man talking about a little burn has anything to do with our buddy Hudson fighting for his life. But it does put things in perspective. Calm down tough guy!

X-2

I sold many a thousand gallons of this to all the Joes Crabshack, Landry's Seafood Rest. They would buy it in 5 Gallon Buckets for their roux.

Is that a Texas sayin?

Day 7 seeing some progress



Day 14 tender as heck, but better every day!!! Guess I'll survive.

Looks like you growing a vagina in that day 7 pick.

Are you a Dr. or stay at a Holiday Inn last nite

Actually an amateur gynecologist. Funny thing, I am staying at a Holiday Inn Express tomorrow.

its to late now but get some of that zinc oxide stuff? my friend nurse gave me some years ago and it still works good. ya just need to use it as soon as you can after the burn. my radiation doc gave me some too but i didnt fill the scipt cuz i already had some.

It's actually doing really good now. I use the Alocane Emergency Burn Gel. Can find it at Walgreens. Highest allowable lidocaine at 4%, plus aloe. Always keep in the medicine cabinet.

Gotta be careful with that stuff. After my severe burn, the er docs were about to put silver sulfadiazine cream on my burn. Thankfully they called the Burn Ward at UC Anschutz in Denver which is apparently the #1 burn ward in the country. They told them not to put anything on my burn, especially not silver sulfadiazine. They gave me a pain killer and put me on an ambulance. Skin grafts are no joke, but it healed up great.
