Jan's accident.OT

[Guest guest]

Jan, I hope your poor toes are okay. You sure acted quickly and did the best

thing by getting ice on. This type of burn can be very dangerous. If I may tell

you a story of my mishap with my micro. I put a cup of water in to boil for

making hot chocolate. I left the room and when I came back the water didn't look

like it boiled. So I put it on for another minute. Took it out and with a metal

spoon began to stir the chocolate powder, it took less than a second for the

liquid to explode which then went on my hand and up my arm. Fortunately it was

winter and I ran(I could run then) and put my whole arm into a snowbank which

avoided blistering. Now I use the kettle to boil water.

Hugs

June

June....

Things could have been much worse for the two of us. Were you left

with any scaring or sensitivities?

I learned about the ice bach when I was 17 and babysitting 5 kids

while their parents were out of town ranging from 6 months to 6

years old. Somehow, a pot of boiling hot water was tipped and

poured over my hand. No way to get in touch with the parents (the

50's)so did what I had to do. Put my hand in a pan of ice and there

it stayed for nearly 48 hours until they came home. Left a

sensitivity to heat on 2 or 3 fingers for about 25 years but that

too faded.

In 25 years of having a micro...never had anything close happen such

as that. Always happens to someone else who is " careless. " I will

be extra careful from now on.

Take care...Jan =^..^=
