ScienceGeek Report post Posted May 12, 2008 What a night! First night alone in ages and drama happens. Gf is away in London at a concert. I had an accident with the frying pan trying to make omelette. Ended up going to A&E was there for 5hrs until the burning stopped. Have 2nd degree burns on my fingers on my left hand and a burn on a finger on right hand. It felt like forever for it to stop burning and it hurts so much. I'm all bandaged up and have left arm in a sling. Tired, hungry and cranky. Need to go to drs tomorrow for dressing change, if can;t get appt will have to go back to hospital to get it done.

ScienceGeek Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Ouchey J!! Did the oil splash up or was it a "grab on hot thing to stop it falling" type accident??? I was cooking omelette and was about to put it on the plate, had hold of the handle and slipped. Hand caught the edge of the pan dropped it on floor and omelette went everywhere! I don't use oil that spits, just a little fry light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGeek Report post Posted May 13, 2008 Crikey SG ! what ever next, hope your Ok and that the burns quickly heal. Clare Thanks. I'm really clumsy I just can't help it. Been having a lot of accidents lately. My friend suggested I try to get an appointment with an OT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warrenpenalver Report post Posted May 13, 2008 I have phases like that J!! though for me its walking into things, tripping over kerbs or general "gyro-failure" when i forget how to stand The best one i have is when i get out the car after a drive i tend to stumble like a drunkard not good considering i dont drink Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
