I use the cotton gloves in bed when I have slathered on the Atrixo hand cream (I put a coat on my feet too and cover them with cotton socks). The gloves and socks keep the cream where I want it and not on the sheets. It works well for me. Alice - You may well be correct.

But it is true, isn't it? As evidenced by the cotton glove reference? Wearing the glove cuts off the air and decreases the pain, right? Please agree, Grannymar, I win very few arguments with Hubby.

Now I better take slowly as it is time to make coffee. Hang on a minute... what happened the sun? We have hailstones! Geri,

I come back after 3 days away (it's friday 29th today) to find that you have been putting yourself through the wars...! I am glad the long sleep helped and that your hand is not badly scalded.

I felt like I was re-reading my own story. On my fourth ever day of teaching as a graduate student, I was brewing coffee into a funnel cone perched on top of a thermos. It toppled off and the water flowed over the back of my left hand. When I ran it under cold water, the skin just came away. "Uh-oh," I remember thinking. A trip to the ER, a wonderful soothing saline bath, a story to tell my French students, a new coffeemaker, a freckled patch on my hand to this day. I have also been impressed at the power of some spills to find the "maximum angle of dispersion" as they used to say on Star Trek. Glad you're okay. Please take it easy. (Then tell me how!) ;^) Oh, GM, I am glad it wasn’t worse! I felt like I was re-reading my own story.

I'm sorry that you came away with a scauld. Is it just part of the ageing process? I've developed the ability to bump into things, and am getting way to good at it. Ouch!
