We went over to a friend's house for Thanksgiving. We were going to fix the turkey yesterday, but it was still frozen (it was still partially frozen today, but running it under water for a while helped. So we are going to have a nice dinner tonight. I hope.
Just now, when I was putting the turkey in the oven, my hand slipped and the back of my wrist fell against the oven door. As a result, I have a burn the size of a golden dollar on the back of my wrist.
I immediately ran it under cold water for several minutes. The outer part of the burn is red. The central area -- about the size of a large pea, is white, and the skin sloughed off. I put silver sulfide cream on it (a doctor had given me the cream once when I had had a similar, though larger burn) and covered it with a gauze pad.
But it hurts like a bitch, and I feel queasy and a bit faint.
[Edit: Just looked at it. As burns often will, it has changed dimensions: now it is approximately 2" in diameter, with a gray-white area the size of a quarter, and a skinless area the size of a large pea. It still hurts, although less.]
