Burnt my hand really badly at work yesterday. Called out today. It looks gnarley. My skin came off immediately. From a chocolate freaking croissant. Didn't see it coming. Because there is a big gnarley open wound on my hand that needs to dry out before I am comfortable working, I called out. I was on clean play today and our drains are backed up. I would be put in a position that would likely make my hand fall off or get infected. I am not risking that. My intuition said don't go in last night, I did not listen and wound up burning myself badly. I am listening to my body.

And absolutely not. I am not calling sedgwick on this they will make me go to the doctor too much. I already went thru one workers thingy. It was a total pain and more trouble than it was worth. I can heal this myself. I just need the huge patch of skin missing to form a scab so I have some kind of buffer there. It also is painful and weeping.

Don't feel bad.
