Ok, don't say I didn't warn you! Read at your own risk! hehe...
I finally can type with both hands! \(^^)/
The other morning, i accidentally burned my right hand with BOILING WATER T_____T
I wanted to fill my bottle with hot water and when i picked the electric kettle up, the cable didn't completely detach...Next second, hot water splashed out and burned my hand. It was so painful that all i wanted to do is to release the kettle from my hand and soak my poor hand in freezing water to kill the pain!
But i didn't let go because if i did, the kettle would drop onto the floor, hot water would splash out and burned my other legs and feet... Will power is very important!
As soon as i put the kettle away, I quickly applied ointment all over my right hand. it burned even more! Now i know it feels to be cooked alive in hot water! *生不如死* But the ointment did manage to reduce my pain...... a bit.... :'(
Still cooking...
My hand was painful for the whole day... it's like it continued to be cooked even though I'd done everything I could think of to cool it. A slight touch of water sent pain down my spine, which means, after toilet, i couldn't wash my right hand *ewwww...* haha, actually, i did wipe my right hand with wet tissues paper la.. i couldn't bear a 'dirty' hand too :P
During shower, I waved my right hand in the air to avoid water.. it's like i was in a music concert, except that there wasn't anybody singing... And it was darn hard doing things with just one hand.. pulling up pants and button up shirts required more effort than usual...... Everything took longer ....
My right hand turned from raw red to blue-black after a few days, then skin started to peel off.. i was like a snake, changing its skin! it was scary to look at but it's good to know that my right hand is healing by itself...
Changing new 'clothes'
I've burnt my fingers by touching hot pots before but never did i know that being burnt by boiling water can be this painful too! oh well, at least I survived. The next time I get asked about being burnt, i could reply with confidence, "Been there. Done that!"
