Michel Marie-- You d...This is the MomMa speaking. Michel Marie-- You did not do what the Mommy told you to do! (again) (Obviously) Because I DID send sympathy (You need to read your e-mails once in a while instead of spending all your free time blogging to your fans!) and the MomMy told you to continue to apply cold water or ice (who has ice in Sudan?--too late now!) (that would be CLEAN, distilled or sterile cold water in Sudan-- especially if a 3rd degree burn or skin broken. Do not use left over water from the monsoon rainy season) Tell the truth to your readers! I told you if it was bad enough, (You failed to share a photo at the appropriate time) that you needed to get Silvadeen (if I could spell it would help. But, as your mother, no one expects me to be able to spell...) Hum-m-m Back to the point. What was my point? Yes, my point: It is past sympathy time. (Sympathy only work for a while...emotional morphine--highly addictive! Notice how no one wants to continue to meditate on your ghastly finger photo!? I rest my case) But, the MomMy must admit: That is a bad burn. And, good Jewish mother that I am: You have been stupid! What are you doing? Better start OT therapy soon...before the contractures immobilize all your fingers and the pain of movement destroys your life! And WHY do you have open skin? Is that thing open and weeping? Get a sterile dressing that won't stick to your skin. Look up E-medicine and read how to take care of everyone with burns! Outcomes for burn patients have improved dramatically over the past 20 years, yet burns still cause substantial morbidity and mortality. •First-degree burns are usually red, dry, and painful. Burns initially termed first-degree are often actually superficial second-degree burns, with sloughing occurring the next day.<br />•Second-degree burns are often red, wet, and very painful. Their depth, ability to heal, and propensity to form hypertrophic scars (see Media file 2) vary enormously.<br />•Third-degree burns are generally leathery in consistency, dry, insensate, and waxy. These wounds will not heal, except by contraction and limited epithelial migration, with resulting hypertrophic and unstable cover (see Media file 3). Burn blisters (see Media file 4) can overlie both second- and third-degree burns. The management of burn blisters remains controversial, yet intact blisters help greatly with pain control. Debride blisters if infection occurs.<br />•Fourth-degree burns involve underlying subcutaneous tissue, tendon, or bone. Usually, even an experienced examiner has difficulty accurately determining burn depth during early examination. As a general rule, burn depth is underestimated upon initial examination.<br /><br />You poor, poor bear... come home!The MomMynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16469539159456586.post-87344543721946136392009-12-15T03:21:49.995-08:002009-12-15T03:21:49.995-08:00Burns hurt!
