SandBox_Kid Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Over the Vet's weekend at Amargosa I had a little mishap with a very hot fire. I tripped....lost my balance....and actually FELL in the fire. Luckily I only sustained minor injuries.....a really nicely burnt leg.... I have a better pic I'll post when I get home ...a bruised ribcage (from the rocks that made the fire pit) and a jammed shoulder. I was actually considering changing my screen name until this happened. The ironic part was that I burned my leg on a pole that was well on it's way burning in the fire. You can see the squares from the alligator skin the wood gets when it's been burning for a while. The doc said I did a good job cleaning it up and thank God all my friends had plenty of burn gel! This happened Sat night and I managed to stay at the dunes until my trip ended on Monday. I thought I would post it to add some comedy and relieve some of the other things folks are posting about ....well you'd know if you have been around for a while. I'm healthy and have a good sense of humor, so let the fun begin....the best ones I have heard so far are: 1. I fought the log and the log won! :beer_bang: (Bobby Fuller) 2. I burned, burned, burned in the ring of fire. (Johnny Cash) Quote
dunefreak Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Damn Gerald. WTF! Maybe you need to stay seated at all times during such dangerous conditions- a campfire! Were you wasted? :beer_bang: Quote
lvnalolife Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 No. I think I would have lied and said I was wasted! Sucks though, hope it gets better soon! Quote

Randog Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 "Fight fire with fire"------Metalica Hey G, I almost fell into the fire at Wingnut's bachelor party like four times. I was so from painterjoe's mixed drink and inhailin' a whole cigar. I said "Eff this, I'm out!" just in time. I wasn't burnt in the morning, but I did feel like I got ran over by Babert's truck or some chit like dat. All I'm sayin' is 'Neosporin' and of course ice cold BEER. Heal up bud. R- Quote

SandBox_Kid Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I went to the dr yesterday feeling like things were healing good because of the serious amount of itching that was going on. I have been taking extreme care when tending to this injury because I fear infection. Well the look on his face was not good. Looks like I'm off to a wound care center now. It looks like the hair folicles are pushing out of the wound.....around 1/8" at this point, and are very hard! Looks just like a strawberry doesn't it....... Quote
Richard Cheese Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 UMMMMMMM TRI TIP J/K damn G....get to the farkin dr. would ya? i hope it works out for ya.....that shiz looks NASTY Quote
