burn out for last time

It has been so long since I burned myself that I can't really remember the last time. I'm pretty careful when I cook. My mother was a nurse and had once worked in a burn unit. Because of that experinece, she was adamant about safety in the kitchen. It makes me very anxious if I see a pot handle extend over a stove instead of facing towards the back of a stove. I'm not saying that I've never been burned though. One of the worst burns I remember was when I forced open a pressure cooker. I had beans all over the kitchen, including the ceiling, and a doozy of a burn on my arm and hand.

The last time I burned myself was on Thanksgiving. I was cooking the turkey for the family. I was using my daughter's oven and I am not used to it. When I reached in to check the turkey, I accidently touched the top coil with the top of my hand.It hurt for a real long time like days! Now I have this cool little roundish scar!

I burned the roof of my mouth last night! I bit into food that was too hot! It hurts so bad! I've never burned my mouth so bad in my life! The skin is peeling and it's really raw! I hope it heals quickly!

I burn myself almost everytime I cook.Today I haven't so far.I try to be careful but sometimes it's hard to avoid.
