It's been awhile since I've done a Macro Monday so I thought I would participate today. Granted my subject material is a bit weird, maybe even gross to some so don't look if you may be squeamish.
Yesterday I sat down to drink a cup of coffee with my husband and somehow I managed to dump it in my lap. Needless to say it was HOT coffee and I jumped up, spilling more onto myself and my chair. Quickly grabbed the nightgown I was wearing holding it away from my leg and went to assess the damage.
It was red and I put some ice on it for about 5-10 minutes and called it good.
Later in the day I discovered this:
Ouch! It was forming a water blister and stung like crazy. This was on my upper thigh area.
I know it's sort of gross but hey, it happened and any more I try to document even the odd daily things like this.
By the end of the night when I went to bed the blister had expanded tremendously.
You can see a slight indentation on the blister but that later filled with water as well and it was really red around the bottom of the blister. I spent about 45 minutes while watch Iron Chef holding a cold wash cloth over the blister and eventually the burning sensation went away. Some time during the night I woke up and touch my leg and discovered that part of the fluid was draining. I got up and sure enough there was a tiny pinhole in the blister where the water was draining out of. By this morning most of it was gone so I covered the burn with gauze and some Neosporin to keep it from rubbing the skin off with my jeans and avoiding possible infection.
So why didn't my coffee cup have a "warning label" on it that the coffee was hot! Better question....Why am I such a klutz at times!!!

Oh, my....I know the feeling. It hurts so badly. I use a Rx called Furacin which is for burns. It is yellow and it is a miracle ointment. I am a far worse klutz that you...trust me. Just click up wt the top of my blog where the followers appear and you can add your name. I will join up with you, too. Do not know how to do the Linky thing but maybe soon I will figure it out. Take care of that mean blister. genie

ReplyDeleteHope it clears up soon! ...and gross or not your photo is a good capture! Would this count as a selfie? *lol*
OUCH!! Dang girl, you got yourself good!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, that's a big blister. Be very careful, because those types of blisters can get infected very easily. No more coffee for you!
ReplyDeleteYou sound a lot like me because I'm a klutz at times too. That looks like a nasty burn -- probably 2nd degree considering it blistered. Sorry about that. :-(
