The Aftermath of Fishing

Okay, so I went to the doctor's and he confirmed what a lot of people had already told me....I have second degree burns on both of my hands. They are swollen, red, and unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) you can't see the 1000 little blisters I have on my hand. It is disgusting. I would not wish this on my worst enemy and it is hitting the itchy phase!! Now I have to apply this cream to my hand's for the next week and then wrap them up in gauze. I look like the biggest tool on the face of the earth and all of my co-workers are making fun of me! I would just like to state for the record that I am not an idiot. I am not used to having to put sunscreen on the tops of my hands, but because of how you hold a fishing pole, only the tops were exposed. I will be used to it now!!
My left hand is not as bad as my right one.

My right hand...swollen, itchy, and red.

The front view....look at how the hand on the left hand side of the picture is fatter than the one on the right.

Up close and....let me hold my lunch back.....barf....

My cheeks are pretty rosy too! Jon thought my make shift moisturizer sock gloves needed to documented. Sorry folks, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Your hands look terrible!! But seriously...how much time do you have on your nasty sunburned hands to take a side by side horizontal comparison shot, and then follow it up with a detailed expanation of one being puffier than the other?!? If Jon really cared about you he'd run his little ass up to bath and body works and buy you some respectable cotton moisturizing gloves!!
