I write this lovely little snapshot after returning home from the Vancouver General Hospital burn clinic. What was I doing there? Getting a burn checked, of course. I can’t help but think about how a simple accident turned into the gongshow that it is now.
I’d burned myself on my curling iron over a month ago, and it had been a small burn. Four weeks later, I found myself collecting my adorable keepsake bracelet from Vancouver General Hospital to fondly remember the several hours spent in various waiting rooms there. My everyday injury shifted into a skin infection. I won’t disgust you with the details, but it was unpleasant.
My burn that should have healed in two weeks will now be a problem I deal with for a few more months. Long story short, always clean and change the bandaging on all open wounds daily.
