I was wearing a sweater with acrylic fibers, it was a bitch. It melted into my abdomen. I try to stay away from anything polyester and I don't use electric stoves or aluminum pans.

The morphine did not even help at times. It is not the 3rd and 4th degree burns that cause the pain. Cuz they cauterize the nerves, it is the 1st and 2nd that cause the most pain, I had 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

Thank you for the concern.

Wow, that is rough.

When you get in a situation like that you do whatever you have to get through it.

That's all you can do.
