[QUOTE="klmno, post: 400330, member: 3699"] Marg, I'll go out on a limb and say I think she handled this differently because it wasn't a 3rd degree burn and there was no open sore, at least yet there isn't. She told me to not put anything on it except that ointment she rx'd once a day. She said to let it get as much air as I could, even wearing lower cut shirts if I could, given that it is cold here right now. She made sure I had been given a tetanus shot recently and told me that if it doesn't start to look like it is getting better or if when the top flesh from the blistering starts coming off it opens up a wound underneath in a couple of days, then get back to a dr right away. I would assume if that happens then they would approach it like you had to. I took the stronger pain medication last night and it took a couple of hours to really kick in but then knocked me out for 12 hours. I slept pretty good though. LOL! But now I'm late for work. She wanted me to stay home today and wrote a note to give to my boss. She suggested staying in bed on medications all day today. The problem is that after missing so much time last week, it would wipe out what little time I am allowed to take and I'd have to take it without pay, which I can't afford to do. I just got a gas bill- just under $300! I'm still floored over that. I'm thinking I'll have a couple of cups of coffee then get ready and go in late but still show them the note from the dr. [/QUOTE]
