View Full Version : How stupid can I be????
I took the kids to the pond for swimming lessons this morning. Aswe were leaving..my oldest left her shoes in the car, so I gave her my slip ons. Well it is a walk to the car...and you guessed it I burned the bottoms of my feet big time. I am in so much pain...OUCHIE!!!!
Anyone have any suggestions???
Oh and I even stepped on gum twice..:rolleyes:

I couldn't resist.... PO' GLO!!! :p
Go soak those tootsies in some epsom salt, honey! Works like magic!
Do you have any aloe vera gel. It works great on sunburns so maybe it will help your tootsies.

Ouchie! The only suggestion I have is to let your dd's and your dh cater to your every whim now.;) I hope you get to feeling better.

You may want to ice them for a while also.
Hope your feet feel better soon.:)

After you soak them, ALOE gel is always good!

I did the ice thing, and I put aloe on them, but I can still feel the heat in them... I can't put my feet down flat :(

So, I guess you won't be going dancing anytime soon, huh, glo? (sorry, couldn't resist . . .)
Cool soaks, aloe, solarcaine, and ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory) will all help.
Hope you feel better soon, glo!

Ouch!! Can't do better than the previous recommendations. Take care of those tootsies!! Hope you feel better soon!
Oops, just thought of this, pickle juice. My DH heard that there is something in there that just takes the heat right out. He either knew or heard of someone getting burned and the pickle juice prevented the burn from being 3rd degree.

I hope your feeling better soon. You didn't grow up in the south did you?
You had me rolling about the gum though.

Glo, you and I can make the "dumb and dumber" list, I bought a new bathingsuit this year , my daughter says , why did you buy another onle identical to the one you already have? I said , I don't have another one like that , I know what I have. She then goes to my drawer and takes out another one identical but in black !! arghhhhhhhh, I forgot I bought it for the cruise last year!!!
Hope your feetsies get better dear....keep them cool.
How stupid can I be????
I though this was going to be a poll!
Hope you feel better soon.

No new suggestions, Glo. Just use nice soft slippers for a while and feel better soon. :)

Go to the doc Glo. You wouldn't want your feet to fall off. I don't think you can grow new ones before Discon.;) besides think of how much shorter you will be without them.

glo glo glo...... is this a rhetorical question, little woman? ;)
Next time, carry the kid!! Or maybe in your case, have her carry you!!!! :p :p
Seriously maybe you should go to the doctors. Try washing them first and if they are still black....
