Wow, that sucks! I hope you are feeling better and not in too much pain.

In '85 my dad sustained 3rd degree burns to the upper 35% of his body. His Dickies work shirt melted and fused to his flesh. They had to scrub the raw flesh to remove the material and sanitize. His retinas were scorched.

Three days later he was Born-again (Christian) and recovered 100%.

There was a roofer dude next to him in the burn ward that fell into a vat of tar. 3rd degree burns on 100% of his body. I still cringe when I think of him...

bacitracin is the goop, it is similar to A & D ointment but with a stronger antibiotic. silvadene will help fight off infection, but will not help the wound heal like the bacitracin will

take the meds! you wont become addicted to them as long as you have the pain. it is when you take more than perscribed or after the pain has stopped that you can run into problems.

this sucks enough, don't make it any tougher on yourself.

[Good & Tight]

if they give you neuronton/gabapentin for the pain (std for burn patients along with narcotics), be aware that it's use may or will effect your memory ,because it is a neuro blocker. i found out the hard way.
suck ness!

I didn't take any pain meds, I too scurred to take them, just took a few motrin's. But the pain is continous as you know.

[Good & Tight]

SHIT!!!!! i know what you are feeling! if you need any burn supplies let me know i have tubs and tubs of the sauve unopened as well as bandaging supplies and zeroform i can send you. if you don't have insurance that shit will add up quick!!!!!

Thanks for offering, I know the supplies are costly when your rebandaging twice a day. Luckily I do have insurance and have been using that silvadene cream that a friend has been sending.
What's sauve and zeroform?

and go crazy with the ointment, the zeroform will dry out over night and fuse itself to the wound bed. changing it out then will make you see god!
goop+ zeroform+ goop+ telfa pad+ krillix wrap+ ace wrap.

not to down play it, but 2nd degrees heal pretty nicely. it may look scarry as hell right now, but you should make it through w/o any MAJOR scars.

feel free to PM me if you have any questions. i know the docs can be kind of vauge in thier responces to your questions.

I feel for you Greg. The surgeries are deff improving your skin.

I'll share a burn story that happened 18 days ago on my arm from the radiator. Happened from me being careless opening the radiator cap while the engine had overheated.
Had a long sleeve shirt on and it soaked up to my elbow giving me 2nd degree burns.

[Collin]

You have to be the toughest bastard I have ever seen dude. Good luck, I hope all the surgeries pay off big!

[Kruzen]
