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.

I am so sorry that you had to go thru such a painful ordeal!
Tell your doctor about your depression.
He can give you medication to help you get thru this.
I have no advice on how to handle your kids, but I do understand what you are going thru with them.
Remember their brains are not fully developed until they are in their early twenties!

GET WELL SOON!

I feel so bad reading your post...I'm so sorry this happened to you..It sounds like you were in terrible pain...I can't even imagine. I know just burning my hand on the iron hurts so much...I can't imagine your legs. If it makes you feel any better, I have teenagers also...17, 15, and 13. They are basically good kids as I'm sure yours are...but they can seem so self-centered at times. I didn't raise them to be this way. It's always "all about me". They also don't seem to have any sympathy when I'm sick. God forbid if someone could pop their head into my bedroom to ask me if I'd like a cup of tea. I hope that you get feeling better soon. This too shall pass. ~Lisa

Thanks,

They are great kids and are well behaved and not into any trouble and do exceptional in school.
The 11 yr old held my hand the whole time I was in the Tub crying. It's the older ones I expect more from. I think I am just in an emotional funk. And yes Teens brains are UGH! sometimes.

I'm sorry that happened to you. How awful! I was going to say basically what CaddyLisa said. Kids can be soooo self-centered. My DD13 is basically a great kid, but sometimes. . .!!! I just try to remind myself that sometime after she's a parent she will "get it". Hope you're feeling better soon.

I am trying my hardest not to get depressed.but it is so hard. I just keep laughing about it and taking a LOT of Vicodin.. Maybe that is why I keep laughing..lol

I hope everything gets better for you. Just know you are not alone.. I'm laid up with you!! If you need someone to yack with, feel free to PM me.. I could use someone who understands, as well!
