A Painful Reminder: My Experience with Hot Oil While Cooking 😭😭😭

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! 😊❤🙏

Today, I would like to share something that happened earlier. It is something painful and unexpected, but also a reminder for me to be more careful in everything I do. 🥺

It all happened while I was cooking turon. I was focused and doing my usual routine in the kitchen, preparing snacks for the day. Everything felt normal until suddenly, the hot oil burst and splashed towards me. It happened so fast that I didn’t have time to react.

My right hand and arm were the most affected, and even my lips got hit by the hot oil. The pain was really intense. It was a burning and stinging feeling that made me stop immediately. For a moment, I felt shocked and didn’t know what to do, but I reminded myself to stay calm.🥺

I quickly turned off the gas and stopped cooking. I knew I needed to act right away, so I did some first aid. I got ice and applied it to my lips, my hand, and especially on the affected areas of my arm. I was trying my best to cool down the heat and lessen the pain.😭

After that, I also applied toothpaste to the burned areas. It’s something I’ve learned as a simple home remedy, and at that moment, I just wanted relief from the burning sensation.🥺

But the pain was still very uncomfortable, so I decided to take a bath. I stayed there for almost an hour, letting the water run over the affected areas because I couldn’t really handle the heat on my skin. It somehow helped ease the pain little by little.🥺

After taking a bath, I applied toothpaste again to help cool down the affected areas. Thankfully, after some time, the burning sensation slowly lessened. It is still sore now, but at least it is more manageable.🥺

Right now, I am resting in my room, allowing my body to recover and calm down.😭

Even though this experience was painful, I am still grateful that it was not more serious. It could have been worse, and I truly thank God for His protection. 🙏

This experience reminded me to always be extra careful, especially when cooking with hot oil. Sometimes, accidents happen when we least expect them, even during our normal daily routines. That’s why we should never be too complacent.🙏

For now, I am just hoping and praying that my burns will heal soon. I know it may take time, but I will allow myself to rest and recover properly.🙏🥺

Despite what happened, I still choose to be grateful. Life may not always go as planned, but there is always something to thank God for even in difficult moments like this. 🙏

Have a Blessed Thursday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!

Be grateful in every little/simple things and you’ll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀

Everyday is worth to be grateful of!

Praying for the safety and wellness of all.

Heal Our Land Oh God!
