Alright, after a night's rest I'm doing better. The affected area of the burn is still sensitive to touch, which means there's probably very minimal or no nerve damage. It will probably leave a wicked scar, though, but that's mostly cool as far as I'm concerned.

@hystericempress Oh crap, glad that it didn't turn out worse!

@Soreth I've definitely had worse injuries in my life, to be sure. It's mostly ANNOYING because it's right on the spot where the webbing of the thumb meets the palm, right on the -side- of the hand. On the plus side, I can still type and hold a gamepad okay so I won't be out-of-my-mind bored while I heal.
