~BBQ Joe~


In July 2006 when I was 9 months Pregnant!! I was Craving Steak!! As I had been for the past 9 months! So Joe went outside to fire up the BBQ to make me a steak. I stayed in the house and watched T.V. I hadn't noticed that joe had been outside for a while until he came barging through the door saying he needed some help. Then he ran back out! When i followed him outside I saw him standing with the hose pouring on his leg and the concrete was black and so was a section of the grass.

As it turns out he had poured some alcohol on the fire because he was out of lighter fluid. and when he went to set the bottle down on the cement it slipped out of his hand and basically exploded spaying alcohol and a flame on his leg and the grass and cement. He looked down and noticed his leg was on fire so he dropped on the grass and rolled around till the fire was out, then he got up and put out the flame on the grass and cement with the hose.

Joe ended up having 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over his leg. Luckily it happened to be his bad leg. From his motorcycle accident that has skin grafts that are numb. So he said that he could prolly only feel maybe half of the burns. But those burns blistered up big and took a while to heal, we had to bandage them 2-3 times a day. Thes pictures do not do the burns justice they looked a lot worse in person.
