During smoko time today, my hand condition was finally noticed by my supervisor who was sitting behind. Showing a serious facial expression, she asked me to go into the laundry room. At that moment, I was worried that she would ask me not to go to work.
To my surprise, she showed her concern and mentioned that I should have told her about my hand condition before it became so serious. Serious? Is it? I am not sure...I have been struggling with chilblains for more than one month, going through different stages and now I feel numb with the problem. In fact, the swell is not the most killing now but only the broken and cracked skin which is one of the symptoms of chilblains happened in extreme cases. Infection started to develop.
She asked her colleague to apply a chinese herbal cream on my fingers which is claimed better than frost cream. She was so surprised to see my fingers too. Thanks to my supervisor, I am now allowed to wear a cotton liner underneath the rubber glove to keep my hands warm. It is really much more comfortable now. I am amazed that my supervisor can be so kind sometime as well.
Hands are feeling better now, except for the cracked skin. Has the condition turned more severe, or better?
