A guy has described his despair at losing both of his legs due to what he believed to be a “minor” burn on his thumb.After the near-fatal incident that occurred in December while Max Armstrong was camping with his friends in Kiowa, Colorado, he spent six days in a coma.
“I grabbed a skillet wrong and my thumb touched the hot part,” Armstrong explained. “I could feel it burning as I moved it to the table, but I didn’t want to drop it.”
“I didn’t think much of it as I have gotten burns, scrapes and cuts from living in the outdoors and being outdoors my whole life.”He cleansed and bandaged his wound after completing his cooking, but a few days later, Armstrong noticed that one of his legs “started to swell up.”
At first, he dismissed it since he thought he might have unintentionally “hurt his ankle at some point” and didn’t consider the pain to be that “significant.”
