And, 14 days later.
Mostly peeled to show new delicate pink skin. One left (the worst of them) and the back of my thumb, that's all that I've gotta tend to, now.
Annie, thank you for helping out. I'm certain I'd have had a lot more pain had you not stayed on it. I really DID try to get the SSD. When you are that broke, getting gauze and wrapping almost breaks the bank... I didn't ignore you, I just didn't act on those bits that were outta my reach.
Tea tree oil. It's in Water Jel, it's in First Aid Jel. I hate to give it sway, without more solid scientific evidence... But, from what I have experienced, it really is a powerful antiseptic and does promote both pain relief and healing. Again, anecdotal, no scientific proof, no control burn treated with something else, no daily medical exams for progress updates...

Minne I know you did the best you could. I am very pleased you did not convert and you took very good care of it. You were lucky with the initial burn. As you heal you need to start rubbing Vitamin E oil into your hand at night.

Following this thread I've noticed a couple of things, minnes has a pain tolerance greater than most and going by page views it seems we here at RIU have a quiet obsession with gross shit
I was reborn in fire when I was really really young. Pain is something I'm used to, and only feel when it's my eyes, or when I focus on it. (eye pain never dulls.) Yeah, I think what happened is SA, fuckedcompany, and rotten all collapsed or started charging. Even our trolls rank higher than /b/ users, so that was out. What else to do? Smoke a bowl, and join THE pot forum.
Looking for a tea tree oil barb, and it's not there... Thanks. I'm on that shit, remember, I told you "My hands are my life." I don't want to play the skin graft game!

Just saw this thread. Holy fuck!
Once upon a time, I burned my leg badly on a motorcycle exhaust when I laid it down while wearing shorts. Burn was 3" x 6". Ran puss for two weeks and showed no signs of healing, despite all the modern medical BS (including, of course, the silver sulfadiazine). Desperate, somebody convinced me to get a live Aloe plant and squeeze the goop directly out of the leaves on to the burn. I did it, and the wound scabbed up so fast that I thought something was wrong and went to see the doctor the next day. He said, "Looks to be healing great. My wife is always going on about those aloe plants...." Even more amazingly, there is NO scar.
Since then, I've used live Aloe plant on burns many times, always with success. I don't know if it will work for anybody else. What I do know is that no doctor is EVER going to prescribe a live Aloe plant. No pharmacy would ever stock such a thing. A pharmacy does stock a variety of aloe preparations but, as I personally discovered, these are all worthless. Whatever miracle agent is contained in the Aloe plant must come directly from a fresh cut leaf. A leaf may keep in the fridge for a day or two, but it is not otherwise preservable.
I am a scientist. I initially dismissed the live Aloe plant idea as pure witch-doctory and suffered needlessly. Sadly, no university, pharma company, etc would ever research this as anything that can't be bottled and sold is anathema to their entire system.

So yesterday as I was finishing the brisket (wrapped in foil at 165 and taken up to 210), the foil came loose and boiling grease spilled down my left leg (the side I'm left with the most paralysis and incoordination). I knew I had to move my leg and just couldn't make it move fast enough.
I watched the grease bubble and sheet down my left leg. Now I have to stop the burning flesh. I'm moving to my left and into the spa. The pool was at 100, but the grease was at 212. So now as the pain receptors on my entire leg are lighting up I remember we had the pool in shock mode for the weekend and I don't shock a pool by halves! To shift the curve I've also driven down the pH! FUCK Now my entire leg is lighting off, shit shit shit.....
The hub comes home and decides he is going to help me. Omfg give me a knife and just let me gut mr helpful that will "HELP" so much more! He decides to ARGUE with me when I try to tell him what I need! Yes I really do need ALL THE FUCKING PILLOWS IN THE HOUSE UNDER MY LEG!! WANNA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT?
Ok so here's the question, what is it about me that makes everyone WANT to argue?
PS wanna guess what I do not have on my burn?? LOL

silvadine cream? Idk about you but everytime I try to communicate my intentions especially to loved ones I sometimes encounter "selective hearing" which aggravates me. I tend to raised my voice naturally as my anger level rises. They go hand in hand. I sometimes wonder if people are being argumentative because they missed out on debate club in high school! Ouch on the burn there c2g! Grease burns suck period end of story! I once slipped my hand into the fries vat at mcdonalds while I worked there during high school many moons ago.......hence my love for silvadine cream.
Yeah grease burns are terrible and you can superheat grease I was so lucky it was merely boiling and I didn't get hurt. If I'd tried to make it to the ice I'd have converted more but the spa saved my stupid ass it's 1 step from my Egg. I wonder if I placed the egg there deliberately, I don't remember.
I think it's my know-it-all-assholitude that hooks em in for the argument. Usually I nothing I love more than a good argument (bet that's a real shock to everyone - NOT), ha.
OMG!! You must marry my son LOL!! He would finally be 'home' ROFLMAO!! See plus you have that lovely logic bent to you. When in high form you could run down his major malfunctions for him. Now THAT could be true love
See soon you will have to step on my foot
It's the left one LOL aim well.

Wow those are some painful pics. Glad you're on the mend. I chemically burned my feet in Urea (oxydizer) when I used to haul bulk fertilizer many years ago. The soles of my feet looked exactly like your hand and I was in the same boat as you as far as claiming a work injury. I doctored myself and somehow didn't lose my feet. But, I was walking funny for several months.

It's a sad story but I can say it fits the theme.
When I was about 10 my uncle's best friend was caught in a grease fire, he had come home drunk and decided to make french fries on the stove. Not realizing he turned up the heat too high the oil had somehow boiled over and caught fire, trying to put it out he stumbled knocking the pot of oil over, spilling it's contents covering himself and the counter. My uncle had forgotten his house keys and went back only to discover the house on fire. Entering the house with the help of neighbours, he finds his friend on the floor and is able to get him outside only to hear him utter weakly "put me back inside...please, it hurts so much".
For the next two weeks my uncle went to the hospital everyday and slowly watched his friend die, they were both 17 at the time and to this day he can't smell french fries without a tear forming.

So, it's a bit late, but here's the finished product.
