pain pain pain

OMFG ouch ouch ouch.

Tonight I pan seared some salmon filets then out the pan under the broiler for about 10 minutes.

I pulled the pan out and set it on the stove top to cool while I prepped the plates. Less then two minutes later, I turned around, and grabbed the stainless steel handle of the pan with MY BARE HAND.

It didn't hurt so bad at first.....

I've been icing it for over two hours now. I took some tylenol, and I've smeared my hand with aloe repeatedly. And it's throbbing in pain.

No ashtanga for me for a while.

I'm supposed to meet a friend at their house tomorrow for a 6 a.m. practice. I've left her two messages explaining my probable impending absence..... but she's as bad as I am about answering her cell or checking her messages. Which means she'll probably think I stood her up if I don't go tomorrow.

And it's too late to go over to her house right now to tell her.

Ouch! Nothing quite like feeling the skin melt on your hand. I hope the pain is short-lived and heals quickly!

Thanks for the well-wishes. It's feeling much better this morning. Still a little raw, but more numb and tingly.

turmeric.. turmeric paste made with turmeric and ghee (or oil) maybe is supposed to help heal burns. I tried it last week and it definitely helped. k
