My niece's burnt foot, pics WARNING graphic...

[carole]

Some of you will remember about three weeks ago my niece Charlene had a very unfortunate accident in the kitchen both her and hubby, and received third degree burns to her foot, which required a skin graft, all seems to be going well, I just received these pics today, boy they are pretty gruesome and gory, I really had no idea my poor niece's injuries were so bad, good thing is she seems to be healing well and although she has required almost two months off work, she is getting better each day.

Please click on the thumbnail for the larger pic.

I know it looks so bad, so raw and sore too, can you see the larger version when you clicked on it, as I cannot seem to .?Thanks for your wishes, always appreciated.

Oh my gosh! That must be so painful I know how painful just a tiny little burn is from working in the kitchen. Your poor niece!

[Jessika]

Oh my GOODNESS! That looks SO painful. ell her I wish her the best of luck and a speedy recovery!

[carole]

Thanks Guys I will , she is doing well though and believe it or not the pain has not been too bad, she was on morphine after the skin graft op, and has been taking painkillers to keep it a bay, still looks like a lot of healing to go yet.

ouch, your neice is tough!

Oh my goodness. That looks awful. Your poor niece. I'm glad to hear that she is doing well. Thank God for pain medications.

Prayers on the way for a full and complete recovery.

I know when I tipped over a cup of hot tea on my leg, it hurt like you wouldn't believe. I can just imagine the pain that your poor niece must have gone through. Especially with the nerves jumping out of whack.

OOOHHHHH I got the shivers just thinking about it.

Please keep us updated Carole on how she is doing.

Oh my that does look painful.
Was she wearing shoes? If not it's a reminder for us to wear protective gear on our feet when we cook.

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! But I think it looks good. I have seen a whole lot worse....BELIEVE me! My son was burned May 4th of this year in an explosion, 82% of his body, 2nd. and 3rd. degree burns so I know all about autographs, dermagraphs and epicel. He is still in the hospital and will be for some time. Her biggest threat is from infection so tell her to be extra careful and do everything they tell her to do, no matter how painful! That looks like a horriable 3rd. degree burn, deep into the flesh and as long as it is open, she is open to infection. Have her be EXTRA, EXTRA careful!

[carole]

Thank you so much for the advice, I am so terribly sorry to hear about your son, I can only imagine what he is going through, and you as well, yes we are very thankful it was only her foot and that things appear to be going well, I will pass on the info you gave me and I really appreciate it.

Charlene was wearing a sock at the time, but it just melted competely.

OMG...looks very painful. I hope your Necie has a speedy recovery. I'll send good thoughts her way.

When the skin finally does begin to heal over I highly recommend vitamin E ointment. It's a miracle ointment and one could hardly tell I have had 3rd degree burns across my hand. Any over-the-counter stuff would be better than nothing but mine was a "scrip" from the doctor and I swear by it. Good luck.

Wow, that looks certainly painful. I can't imagine how much pain she endured and how much time it'll take ot completely heal.
