Nothing like starting the day with 1st degree burns

Ugh. I'm such an a$$. I was getting my morning coffee in the cafeteria here at work. I was juggling too much and as I went to set my coffee down, I lost my grip and it spilled all over both of my hands. It's not awful, but the burn covers at least 50% of each of my hands and is pretty painful. I just can't believe that I am such a jerk and wasn't more careful with something that I know damn well is hot. Well, hopefully the rest of my day goes better.

Ugh, that's awful! Do you need a doctor? Burns are really painful, sorry

No, I don't think I need to go to the doctor. It just looks like a really bad sunburn, but I'm not blistering or anything. Now, when I spilled hot tea on my lap a few years ago, I actually got 2nd degree burns (yeah, it was that hot) and had to go to the doctor for that. Talk about embarrassing. I will never again hold a cup of hot anything between my legs while driving.

I would take some motrin to help get the sting out and then periodically during the day run your hands under cool watering.

Burns suck! Doesn't help that our hands are pretty sensitive.

Aw... honey!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I burned my boobs not once but TWICE.  Both times I was BFing and was so embarrassed to go to the doc, which I needed to do both times. They gave me bactriban and put gauze over it so it wouldn't get infected. I would use that if you have any around the house. Feel better!
