So I bought a treadmill whilst in lockdown to focus on fitness. My cousin asked for a shot of it one day I said yeah no bother. So I was on the phone to my bf downstair whilst she was on treadmill. I then heard screams but it didnt sound like a scream where he was injured it sounded like a scream where someone had taken something off him. If ur a parent ull know what I mean u get different types of screams lol.
So I ran up and found all the palm and 3 fingers his skin was completely off very red no bleeding I panicked I had no clue what to do I was trying to phone 111 for advice at first but taken too long because it asks so many things and u need to click numbers so I was going off my head cause my child was distressed I was distressed so I phoned an ambulance (bearing in mind I thought ahhh what if wasting their time) im sorry but my childs in terrible pain im glad I did because it was the right thing to do.
Ambulance arrived quickly guys were really lovelly! ! ! My son fell asleep on me in the ambo at this point I was relieved because hes asleep hes not in pain atm I felt so helpless when he was crying & I couldn't take the pain away for him. Got to hospital waited whilst people checked him out he got bandaged up. Day after we went back to get it redressed its been a week since it happened hes had a full thickness skin graft. It went well hes been brand new ud never even think he just had an operation. The staff are amazing. So nice and reassure u all the time! !
