SELF- Please remember NOT to touch red burners on the stove any more.
On Friday, (the day I planned to do nothing more than hide), I did a monumentally stupid thing. I was browning some hamburger on the stove when I noticed an awful burnt smell. There must have been something on the burner or the drip pan, so I moved the skillet to a different burner, and then (without thinking!) I proceeded to reach down and grab the red hot burner so I could wash it off.
What proceeded was a whole lot of crying, a quick phone call to my husband, a trip to the urgent care, lots of a ice, a bit of Vicodin, a tetanus shot, and 7 stripes (that might possibly scar) across my fingers where I grabbed the coiled burner.
I am feeling better, but the skin is so charred across my fingers that I am having a hard time bending the tight skin. The worst part is I don't even have a cool story to go with my injury. It's bad enough when you get hurt, but it's even more embarrassing when you get hurt doing something stupid.
Sigh.

Wow, I'm sorry. I have almost done that before - almost! We don't get any gory pictures?
I might put pictures on in a few days after it's cleaned up a bit, and I take the bandages off.
Aside from the charred fingers, I've so been there. the end of the day is always so hectic I run around doing fifty things and get side tracked. I can totally see me doing that. Maybe its a family thing. :P
