我是水煮猪 - The day the thermal flask exploded
One hour after i was scalded by hot water from the thermal flask that exploded. Teh blisters were starting to form. Various ones later merged to form a mega one which i had to go to the dr's to drain it out. Yucks!
After one week and draining of fluids from the numerous blisters that had mushroomed-
My disfigured right thigh. My left inner thigh too suffered (1 degree burn) but it was not as bad as the right (2 degree burn).
