I have not really given much thought to burns, and I thank goodness that mostly we don't have to live with open fires, etc. I once put a plastic bowl under the grill to heat up what was in it - talk about stupid. Luckily I only ended up with a lump of melted plastic which was VERY hard to get off the cooker! :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-49117917554294390202011-11-08T20:02:21.669+00:002011-11-08T20:02:21.669+00:00I'm glad, Mr V.

Thank God indeed that you had the strenght to endure and heal.<br />This is an experience that changes you forever.<br /><br />I am very cautious about two things, fire and electricity.

Mom looked around for a dish cloth to put it out.....but I smothered it out against my leg. Not a good idea, but when your burning you don't have time to think.

The incident I experienced had me thinking I was going through the whole thing again. No, I didn't know about your training to to help burns victims. I was VERY fortunate that I didn't need any since only my legs were on show.

They pant and shake and pace about the room, wimpering. I am trying an expensive diffuser this year (which will be worth it, if it works). The alternative is sedatives from the vet, but our old dog has a heart condition, so that's not ideal either. If it was just one night, we would cope, but it's spread over several days, if not severalKathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-15955599964251217542011-11-05T11:23:29.719+00:002011-11-05T11:23:29.719+00:00oy i am glad you only have a little burn...ugh...h...oy i am glad you only have a little burn...ugh...had to be frightening for sure...got my heart pumping just reading it...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.com
