Lesson learned........

This is my sister Kathy's hand after receiving a steam burn, mine is not even close to what her's looks like. Kathy and I were trying to help mom carry a roaster full of ham out to the car. It still had steam in it and as my husband is calling us dumb and dumber lifted it off the counter and the steam proceeded to attack.......it was all we could do to get the roaster back on the countertop.....needless to say we spent 3 hours with our hands in cups of ice water and Chris went to Kirksville for ointment........Andrea called stating she had numbing ointment...thanks Andrea it was a BIG help....needless to say Kathy and I learned our lesson.....you would think that at 38 and 36 we would not do stupid stuff like this.......live and learn! Oh and both of us use our hands for our jobs, she is a women's nurse practicioner and I transcribe!
