As many of you already know (since I talk to most of you on facebook) on Friday I managed to spill a cup of water that had been heated for 1:30 in the microwave down my lower right leg. The burn is 2nd degree and is considered a major burn due to the amount of skin that it covers. It's ridiculously painful, and I've learned that 2nd degree burns continue to blister, take 3+ weeks to heal and require supplies for care that insurance doesn't cover.
That's why I'm asking if anyone reading this has extra, sterile wound care supplies that they wouldn't mind sending my way. I need:
- Rolled gauze, at least 3in in width
- Non-stick, non-latex pads
- Bacitracin with zinc
- Small size, non-latex, disposable gloves
- Cooling burn pads, large (non-latex)
- Aloe gel, as pure aloe as possible
I put together a wishlist on amazon to give ya'll a visual for what I'm looking for. I have to change my dressing 3 times a day, minimum. The blister often ooze (it's gross, I'm sorry) and make it so I need to change the dressing a 4th time, to keep the area as clean as possible.
Wishlist for reference: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/RNGUWW3G21W7/ref=cm_wl_huc_view
If you can send supplies, please contact me to get my info.

Thank you all so much. If you don't have anything extra around, could you please share this on your social network of choice?
Here's a picture of my adorable child napping to put some space between this and the icky pictures of my burns.
