Next I went and found a pot to fry egg...why didn't I just use the same pot to fry the stupid sauages...you gotta know its late at night and I am so sleepy already....next thing I know I bumped into the handle of the hot boiling oil and it spilled and instinctly I went and blocked it with my hand...ouch! Never felt anything more pain then that...Immediately off the fire...ran off to the toilet and washed my hand in running water after the pain subside a little I walked to ask for help from Wil and guess what I kept knocking and he din answer the door...when I opened his door I realised he is not in the room...I assumed he went out...
Then I ran and asked da for help...I ran into the room and said "Help...I burnt myself with hot oil"...Da was reading a book...never seen him move that fast before...instantaneouly he jumped up and went with me to the washroom...I asked him to get ice for me...then I soaked my hand in the ice water we prepared...
"You may as well take the food I prepared", I said while soaking my now numbed hand in the pail of cold water...of cos what...must eat...else wasted my effort and also my hand get burnt for nothing....Next thing you see...Da munching on the food...LOL he must be hungry...
Later I messaged Godma and ask her what to do...she told me to apply Aloe Gelly...huh...must apply thick thick layer somemore...sigh...better safe then sorry...I scared got scar...so apply more lor...
Wow the whole night is a burning nightmare...when I leave the room I can feel my hand burning red...feel the heat on my hand...so I hid in my aircon room all the way...the Gelly Godma ask me to apply feels cooling at least...woke up a few times in the middle of the night...freaking pain lor...
I realise I know very little about First Aid on oil burn...only know that if get burn by anything just place under running water...but Singapore water so hot....sigh...
When I woke up this morning I still feel pain but there is no ugly marks on my hand...at least my fried piglet "leg" does not look that red...
Die lah...I read "Burns can "mature" over the first 72 hours by being deeper than when they started. So we want to make sure that the burns do not have little areas of "Third Degree" that could produce scars. The silvadene cream is a powerful preventer of infections which is the most common complication of even shallow second degree (blisters) burns." from allexperts.com
Sian liao...I read this from answers.yahoo.com, is it true?
"For second-degree heat burns without open blisters, follow these steps:
Remove jewelry or tight clothing from the burned area before it begins to swell.
Flush the burn with cool running water or apply cold- water compresses (a wet towel or handkerchief) until the pain lessens. Do not use ice or ice water, which can cause more damage to the burned area.
Try not to break the blisters. If the blisters break, the exposed skin can become infected.
Cover the burn with a clean (sterile, if possible), dry, nonfluffy bandage such as a gauze pad. Do not put tape on the burn.
Do not put ointments, grease, petroleum jelly, butter, or home remedies on the burn. These substances can hold the heat in, making the burn worse.
Keep burned arms or legs raised to reduce swelling.
Get medical help for second-degree burns greater than 2 to 3 inches in diameter or for burns on the hands"
Anyway came back from doctor's and she say that its not that bad and that wouldn't have scaring so I am not that worried...problem is she wrapped my hand up like a mummy and told me to leave it for 2 days...no washing it??!!! OMG torture!!!!
