*Not a ploy for sympathy, but FYI I was badly burned Sat morning by a greasefire mishap and just got out of the hospital last night. My left arm underside is fried, 2nd degree..likely gonna scar nasty but still 100% functional. Have mostly 1st degree on my face, mostly left side, ear, neck, cheek, forehead, nose and lips are blistered... hair and beard and eyebrow singed... . they say I should fully recover and I'm hardly one who'se ever been in a position to be vain. Hobbying is pretty far from my mind right now, but bored and home and not much else to do but play online and watch bad TV.
Anyway, ever seen anybody who was kinda messed up and self conscious about it? Were you afraid to ask or just ignored it? Etc...
I'm not into self pity so not wallowing in it, but facts are facts I look pretty nasty right now.. my wife is being wonderful caring for me, helping me shower with a plastic bag over my arm, changing bandages. My 7 year old daughter was pretty scared when she saw me but is being brave and optimistic.
Dunno why im posting this here.. thats what Facebook is for .. don't wanna be a downer.. outlook is good and Im pretty insanely tough and have recovered from a lot of weird injuries.
Definitely gonna be feeling pretty pent up though, can't really properly take matters into my own hands right now even.
