Tonight is our 6th night without power. I've been cooking breakfast & dinner every day on a Weber kettle. On Sunday I spilled hot bacon grease down the shin of my left leg and into the croc I was wearing. My wife put a cold rag on it and sprayed some meds for bug bites and sun burn and I finished cooking breakfast. I went to our local FD and ask them to wrap my leg. When I woke up Monday and removed the wrapping I was shocked how bad the burn really was. My local doctor was without power but at his office. The look on his face scared me a little when he saw my burn. His nurse cleaned it and wrapped it and told me not to pop the blisters. I couldn't go 12 hours without bumping into a gas can and popping the big one! From Monday morning to Tuesday night my leg went from a bad burn to looking like a scene from the walking dead. I replay Sunday morning breakfast over and over in my mind, that split second change my life forever. Be careful sisters & brothers! Please be warned, the pictures I'll add later are very graphic.

Wow. That's a serious burn. Did the doc give any antibiotics?

I agree. That looks like it needs immediate attention.
It's your leg but it will be harder to grill with only one.

Tetanus shot, clean & wrap twice a day. We are watching it for infection. It hurts like hell, but I've worked everyday this week.

Prayers for your leg to heal up flawlessly without any complications, and a speedy recovery!
I had to wait to comment on your leg. Just ate dinner. We will say a prayer tonight for your leg and for all of you to get power restored.

Wish you speed recovery ! that does look very scary , Prayers for healing up.
Brother, spilling bacon grease on your shin just ain't that far from spilling on a more tender part of your body. Best wishes and be careful.
That's bad. Best wishes!!!
Wtf! Just saw this. Sorry to hear about you leg. Hope you get well soon. Prays to you and yours from me and mine.
Sorry to here. Be safe. Keep that leg clean, infection is nothing to mess with, especially if your area has storm damage that will affect local health care, and supplies .

3rd trip to the doctor this week, they took off all the damaged skin. It was really hard to walk at work!

F*ck! I don't know what to say but keep it clean and stay out of the flood waters. A couple people died here after Irma from small cuts wading through the water. An old man got that fibro bacteria after scratching is leg and swimming in the gulf, lucky he is alive an didnt loose his leg!
Hope you heal up soon!
As bad as the leg looks, that foot looks worse! Does the foot bother you more than the leg when walking?

Yes , the foot is tuff to handle. If felt better until they took all the skin off!

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words. The leg is about 90% healed after 4 weeks.

I thought about bacon on the grill yesterday and this popped in my head, right in the oven it went.

Hope all is well. It's good to hear your leg is nearly 100% healed up.
Good to see it getting better
@Meatpolice , that had to hurt like a mutherfuker. Hope it continues to heal up for you and I hope it is drying out down there too.
