Fuck eh, poor guy. That is pretty horrific to go thru and all the after affects and he was so young when it happened. Old injuries always get worse as we age, at least the serious ones. He's still lucky to be alive and sounds like he still has a wholesome life just the same. I had a bad burn as a welder but it was small so lucky but it was close to the nerves and to this day it's still pretty itchy (it's been years) and it took months to heal and the infection risk is really dangerous on open burns.

MM... vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce on the brownie, or a cherry brownie with vanilla ice cream!
