That's so sad!!! I'm glad you were able to over come it and live normally! Go you!! You rule!! *gets all inspired and shtuff!*
Yeah, my experience happened when I was four years old. It was just before christmas and we had our closest friends over for dinner. My parents had just bought a new 'fancy' coffee pot and were testing it out.
It was so fancy no one really knew how to work it and it was overflowing and, well, I was standing right there. The scalding water fell right ontop of me. I was wearing a knitted wool sweater that actually melted to my skin from the heat, making my burn hella worse.
So I spent two months during Christmas in the hospital with third degree burns (worst there is) on 20% of my body. Luckily it didn't get my face or hands, just my left arm and upper chest. If I'd gotten it on my hands I could have been webbed!!
Anyway, I'm actually GLAD I have my burn, its a major part of who I am. I know I probably sound crazy to you non-scarreds but I love it. If I had a chance to get it removed and have no scar at all, I wouldn't do it if they payed me to.
People ask me about it a lot, I don't mind telling them about it but I kinda wish my story was a little cooler and more exciting! It's a big part of me and has maybe even made me a better person, who knows. I used to make my friends call me 'Burney' cuz I wanted a nickname!!
Sounds like peas compared to some of your stories I'm sure *points up*, but I think it's worth telling.
