joorsh Forums Junkie Registered: June 2003	Re: Home mechanic war stories Wed, 25 August 2004 13:30 A few years ago now I was soldering on the upstairs balcony of my old house (yeah, you know what's coming Draven & Ashling). I can't remember what exactly - i think it was a head unit for my old bomb of an exa. Anyway, it was early morning so I was pretty much in my boxers. The phone starts ringing so I get up and answer it. 5 mins later I come back out to the balcony to finish the job. I'd just stepped out onto the balcony when I trod on a small stick. As I'm sleepily reaching down to toss the stick off the balcony, I realise that what I'm stepping on feels REALLY cold - like ice. I get a look down at it and see a glowing reddish/blue soldiering iron - at this point the pain kicks in. A VERY loud expletive is followed by me lifting my foot up VERY quickly, only to have the soldering iron stick to the bottom of my foot. At this point I should point out that I was in fact barefoot. I literally screamed, and ripped the soldering iron off my bare foot (with many more expletives) only to see little sizzling chunks of skin still stuck to the iron. Boy did it stink. Next my brother comes into the room to see what all the noise is about, and see's me hopping and yelling and cursing about the soldering iron, and starts laughing at me (as brothers do). Anyway, called the hospital, got instructions on burn treatment - watered and padded it down. My brother totally freaked out - he didn't realise how bad it was, and he was so very apologetic afterwards I couldn't walk for about 2 weeks (didn't take all that long to heal really) but it was tender for a while after. Left an AWESOME scar. A big purple line about 10mm wide and 100mm long. The doctor said the reason it felt cold was because the iron was so hot it totally destroyed the nerve endings. The pain I felt after a second or two came from the nerve endings around the burn as they started to get burnt too. Pretty hardcore stuff. I wish I'd got photo's now - it's times like this when posting them up would be cool! -J- [Report message to a moderator]
