Tea towel?

wet tea towel with ice cube in. does not last long enough. is not cold enough. the iced water is no longer cold enough. woe. time to double up on painkillers. maybewith some wine.

Are all Australians impressively stoic about pain? Or is it only Australian fanfic writers?

Although reading the comments might have modulated my initial impression. Take care of yourself.

Oh, I complain a lot. :) Putting a slice of aloe vera inside the dressing overnight really helped (though of course it meant there was dramatically wrinkled skin in the morning in addition to the welt) - it was hardly hurting at all after that. In fact, it was so good that I did a lot of gardening yesterday and forgot to wear gloves, failed to notice when the dressing came off, and forgot about the burn itself altogether until it started hurting, and I looked down to realise it had broken open and I'd rubbed an impressive amount of dirt into it. Because I am clever like that.
