Well, just damn, I have to think of a lovely place to throw my ashes. I had never thought of that before, Westy. I don't want to end up on someone's mantel in an urn.

I have had much trouble convincing my family that I wanted cremation instead of burial, but now I know they believe me.

But, maybe I should put it in writing and make a will.

I know, the wife's folks didn't believe in cremation...Think the closest crematorium was in Chicago....Anyway the wife and daughter are buried....

All but three of my parents and grand parents have been cremated, but they are in cemeteries.....one grandfather and grandmother are buried over in Idaho...The other grandfather is buried in a field of weeds in Montana

I got a couple hours sleep. Al got me the spray Lidocaine and he forced fed me three aspirin, so I got some rest.

The burning feeling has subsided enough for the moment as long as I keep anything much from touching it. I am starting to blister in places now. So I imagine that I'll have to be really careful about that as it will be easy to get infected.

The Phamacist said that the first and second degree burns hurt the most, and I assume these are second. I've had a third degree, and that took the skin right off. That's what I got for wrapping a leg around a hot motorcycle muffler when I was young.. I will see if I can eat a little something..maybe some grapenut custard I made earlier and then it will be time to take more aspirin. I suppose this ends my swimming until I leave. Darn, I was enjoying it so much too.

Just wanted to let you know that I didn't go to the hospital. I don't do hospitals if I can manage not to. ;)
