In the 🔥heat 🔥 of the moment

This morning was very adventurous for me. For some reason my man's nerves in his fingers suddenly stopped working, it made him drop what he held. He held a kettle with boiling water that he had just taken off the stove.

He drops it on the kitchen floor and the water splashes up at his chest and arms as I'm on the other side of the kitchen, witnessing it all. My innate reaction was to run to him but the water on the floor was boiling hot so the island of water kept us apart.

I then ran to the bathroom to soak a towel in cold water that he put on his wounds. And laid dried towels on the kitchen floor so he could move. He took a cool shower then we patched him up.

Because we were so fast to cool him down, and his neck was blessed, he got away with just a milder burn injury and probably won't need to see a doctor. We'll maintain the burn wounds and see how it heals. Hopefully it will heal on it's own.

After this incident we immediately started counting our blessings. This could have ended very differently.

Glad the damage was minimal, as you said could have ended differently.

@SW-User Yes. I think the "What if.." thoughts are starting to creep on me now when we're back home as we took care of the injury and then we went out.

But the fact that he dropped it in the first place because his hands don't work is concerning too.

I will nag on him to book a Dr appointment and examine why it happened.

@Queendragonfly that is definitely concerning and needs to be looked into.

@SW-User So you're telling me googling his symptoms is not gonna help me stop worry? 🙈
SW-User
@Queendragonfly it might, but probably have you worry more. 😕

@SW-User It's tempting but it's probably best that I let doctors do that job instead. 😅

@Queendragonfly you guys probably have good Dr’s over there too.

I would be googling it because ours are pretty useless.
