Fire

Friday I had a brush w/Death.  I had went shopping and bought a lot of meat for grilling.  It was my mom's b-day and Jimmy was working.  I went and picked up the kids, asked for their help on the way home.  I put Hunter in charge of unloading the car and listed off the things I needed to to.  The first thing is light the grill, it has to warm up.  Then I went looking for an extention chord to charge the lawn mower.  I couldn't find one, i called Jimmy and he had it in the back of his car.  So I decided to unload the mower from the trailer.  1st I had to untie it and unload the push mower, then I had to find the key and start the riding mower and back it off and pull it around to the plug in.  Did it!  Then I went back up to clean the grill.  It was out.  I turned it off went inside and grabbed the lighter.  I turned the grill back on and was lighting the ligher around the grill, thinking that there would be gas.  Well there was, just not where I was lighting.  I bent down and opened the little hole, stuck the lighter in and FWHOOOOSHSHSHSHSH. PCKCPCKCPKC.  I looked up and saw the flame over my right shoulder, It looked like it went over the edge of the deck.  Then It was gone.  Sissy was standing right next to the grill.  Immediately I felt my lips start burning.  I knew I was in trouble.   I stood up and looked at Sissy, all she said was "Mom, that really freaked me out."  All I could say was "Yeah, me too."  I immediately started looking for the sunburn relief, aloe vera gel stuff.  I couldn't find it anywhere.  Then I really started freaking out and crying.  Jayden, 5 yrs old, said "Mom, I thought you were suppose to be tough.  Adults don't cry."  which made me cry harder.  I looked in the mirror and I looked like an old, black lady.  My hair looked white and it was shriveled,  My eyebrows looked black and were plastered to my skin.  (they are almost gone now)  I called my husband freaking out that I needed the gel and he didn't know where it was, and it exploded.  He thought the lawn mower exploided, so he is TOTALLY freaking out, he hangs up on me and calls 911.  Hunter brought me some spray lidocane, from the neighbors, I layed down on the bed and started spraying.  Then I could hear the sirens.  I didn't know they were for me until Hunter said that the Firetruck was outside of our house.  They came in and assessed the situation and gave me some gel that was suppose to help with the burning.  Our other neighbor arrived home and was looking after the kids.  Later she told me it only took her 5 minutes to get home from the mall. 
The ambulance driver came in and asked if I had put on any water on it. Which I hadn't, so he got this huge washcloth and put some water on it.  Then he told me I needed to go to the hospital because I didn't have any nose hair and he thought that if the gas had gotten in my throat, it would swell up and I might have respitory problems.  So, off I go to the hospital.  I didn't feel like an ambulance ride, (I didn't think we could afford it,) So I had my hubby take me.  When we arrived there I thought it was going to take forever, so I leaned over and told Jimmy that maybe I should I have taken the ride, they would have gotten me in sooner.  But shortly after I said they they took me back to a room.
