It's been awhile since I've done a Macro Monday so I thought I would participate today. Granted my subject material is a bit weird, maybe even gross to some so don't look if you may be squeamish.
Yesterday I sat down to drink a cup of coffee with my husband and somehow I managed to dump it in my lap. Needless to say it was HOT coffee and I jumped up, spilling more onto myself and my chair. Quickly grabbed the nightgown I was wearing holding it away from my leg and went to assess the damage.
It was red and I put some ice on it for about 5-10 minutes and called it good.
Later in the day I discovered this:
Ouch! It was forming a water blister and stung like crazy. This was on my upper thigh area.
I know it's sort of gross but hey, it happened and any more I try to document even the odd daily things like this.
By the end of the night when I went to bed the blister had expanded tremendously.
You can see a slight indentation on the blister but that later filled with water as well and it was really red around the bottom of the blister. I spent about 45 minutes while watch Iron Chef holding a cold wash cloth over the blister and eventually the burning sensation went away. Some time during the night I woke up and touch my leg and discovered that part of the fluid was draining. I got up and sure enough there was a tiny pinhole in the blister where the water was draining out of. By this morning most of it was gone so I covered the burn with gauze and some Neosporin to keep it from rubbing the skin off with my jeans and avoiding possible infection.
So why didn't my coffee cup have a "warning label" on it that the coffee was hot! Better question....Why am I such a klutz at times!!!
