Unhappy I am finally recovering from 2nd degree Burns

On Christmas I had very Hot Coffee spill over onto my pants and severely burning my Thighs. I was in extreme pain and crying hysterically. I ran to my bathtub because the are was so large that it was hard to cover with ice packs.
Sat for 2 hrs in a cool tub with compresses and no meds took the edge off.
Called my internest but couldn't get a call back (i now have his home phone)

I go to the emergency room and they told me I was going into shock from losing so much body heat and that I had severe second degree burns. They did some procedure where they removed all surrounding skin to prevent infection.
I then followed up with my internest and gave him a piece of my mind calling 4 times with no reply. He saw my legs and said how sorry and it was his fault I guess he didn't expect to see such horrible burns. It has caused my varicose veins to go nuts and my knee hurts.

I am now just so damm depressed and I don't know why as I am healing. My 17 yr old who should be understanding and saw the leg said I ruined the School Vacation because I was in bed. I know she doen't mean it deep down but I am so mad at her right now that we are like a Cat and Dog. Her disposition lately is horrinble.

My Boss makes a crack today even though joking that I just probably didn't want to work... I just told him go to Hell because I don't get paid when I am out and anyhow don't work in December because me and Husband are in business.

Thank God for my Husband but I feel like I am slipping into a mild depression as I can't stop crying. I felt so bad for my parents as they witnessed this whole ordeal.

I actually had Christmas Day at my house pain and all so that I didn't ruin anyones Christmas and my Sister was a huge help but my kids are dissapointin g me especailly the one that was born sick and I spend 90 days a year with in the Hospital

I just had to vent as I am feeling very lonely and sad right now.
