So, we're on vacation this week down in FL, and I start frying some bacon for my son for breakfast. I get finished, and want to dispose of the grease in a can. I pick up the frying pan, and as I'm pouring the grease into the can (which I'm holding w/ my left hand), a drop goes on the electric burner and flashes a bit of flame. Startled, I move my right hand, and pour grease onto my left hand. Ouch. 1st & 2nd degree burns:
We go to a walk-in clinic, and I tell the doc what happens. He asks which fingers hurt the most (the first 2) and he begins wiping them down with some kind of ointment (I think). Then he grabs my wrist, says, "Don't move," and sticks a 3 inch needle into the joint just below my fingerprint and injects a numbing agent.
Ou-fucking-ch. And this proceeds for my other 3 fingers (not the thumb). If you look at the pic, you can see the little dots on each finger where he injected. I'm now putting a cream on my fingers 2x daily, and taking hydrocodone for the pain. So the week can't go anywhere but up, right?
