Let me go on...

I burned my (fortunately, left hand) palm Sunday. I was moving around a cast-iron skillet that had been in the oven for two hours, and the hot pad slipped. My palm touched the handle, and now I have a dime-sized blister burn.

It could have been a lot worse. Granted, it's 1/8" high right now, but at least it's in a relatively non-inconvenient place: the pinky side of my palm. It hasn't burst, and I've been covering it with cat meds and band-aids. It doesn't generally hurt right now.

If it had to happen, I'll take "mildly annoying" over "incapacitating" any day.

Somebody once told me Neosporin was originally used as topical medicine on cats, since they infect easily. May or may not be true, but for us the term stuck.
