Today I got a call from a gal in the office there saying that they'd sent Joel home. He had some stripper solution splash on him. He's had tiny bits on him before and he says it burns like fury. You have to run and hose off. Today he was getting an end table out of the solution and didn't realize that some of the stripper had pooled in an area where there was a cubby space on the table (hard to explain). As soon as he leveled the table to begin scraping it, the stripper came rolling at him and splashed over his apron. He ran outside and started hosing off. In the process of taking his shirt off he got his face too.
When he got home I decided to call poison control to see if he needed medical treatment. Basically after a few phone calls I found out that the shower that Joel took would stop the burning. It basically took the top layer off. It's not supposed to get worse or blister so the poison control lady said to just have him put hydrocortizone cream on it and neosporin to keep it from getting infected. Close call! Of course he had to look tough for the camera!
Until the Next Grand Adventure,
Yvonne and crew
p.s. Why does he always get hurt when Jim's out of town?
