Chapter 12 - THE BURN CLINIC
My hand became worse before it improved.
Blisters.
Dressing changes.
Stiffness.
Occupational therapy.

No graft eventually.
Thank God.
But limited grip for weeks.
Juniper Table suffered.
I could not pipe frosting.
Could not safely lift heavy pans.
Could barely chop.
My employees, Kayla and Martin, ran more than they were ready for.
We lost two weddings because I canceled.
One bride understood.

It enters payroll.
Scheduling.
Insurance.
Sleep.

May you like
