Did your fingers blister Clod? If not, the burning sensation you feel when you take the cold pack off are the nerves 'thawing' out and sometimes if you can just suck it up for 10 mins, distract yourself with something...the pain will go away.

If they're blistered and still hurting, you should go see a doc.

yeah.....suck it up, already, Mary. rub some dirt on it.

OMG you're a homopathic.

Do your customers know what a tree-hugging hippie you are when you've got them over the barrel, applying rust protection to their undercarriage?

The thumb is a little blistery, but not horrible. I went to sleep with my hand resting on the ice pack, and when I woke up again (or more accurately, was woken up) at 3:00, it was a lot better. You're probably right about the nerves thawing, sucking it up is so much easier when you're passed out. :) I still can't really do anything with it, but it doesn't hurt when it's just sitting there anymore.

What's upsetting me?

Jim hasn't been here yet...give it time

Well I'm glad it's feeling better today. I hope you could understand what I was saying and didn't think I was being harsh. It's just something I've noticed when I've been careless enough to do similar types of things in the kitchen.

Just try and remember it's sore before you pick up a hot coffee cup. ;)

I picked up my curling iron on the way to an interview by the wrong end. I didn't just pick it up though, I picked it up and grasped it. :( I know it hurts. The best thing you can do is keep the ice packs on.

I wonder what DES is and what drug causes that Cloud?

Cicero: DES is a synthetic hormone (diethylstilbestrol) that was given to women from the 40s through the 70s to prevent miscarriages (and was used all over the world for a lot of things). It's a teratogen. It not only didn't work, it causes cancer and a host of reproductive abnormalities in the daughters of women who took it while pregnant with them. Hence, DES daughters.

Fortunately, I never developed cancer (yet!) but I did have cervical dysplasia (abnormal, pre-cancerous cells) and certainly, complications of pregnancy.

My knee! Damn thing started to go wonky last week, and instead of getting better, it's getting worse. Now the muscles surrounding it ache.

:(
