Lovely bit of racism there.The dumped rubbish was almost certainly dumped there by travellers (or as I call them 'dids'), they are the scum of UK earth and need their legs cutting off because they have absolutely zero regard for the law and other peoples property.
Of course in a case like this it isn't only the 'dids' who are the problem but the mindless idiots who use them to clear their gardens not bothering to check their documentation and certificates thoroughly if indeed at all.
For heaven knows what reason, land owners aren't supported at all by the civic authorities and so, just as soon as any rubbish is fly tipped onto private land then, it then becomes the legal responsibility for the land owner to clear it up at their own expense and that makes me almost as mad as the bloody 'dids' did in the first case
My heart goes out to you Mobilvetta, I sincerely hope you make a full recovery.
Even more despicable than dumping garden waste. Scum of the earth, racists. They have absolutely no respect for the law and for other people.

Yes thanks for the reminder, I realise now it was a stupid mistake and I'm embarrassed at my age that I would do such a thing, we can't all be perfect, life is one huge learning curve and we do learn by our mistakes, after all we are humans. As for the cost, Im sorry about the emotional costs it has cost my family, my wife is still a bag of nerves over it.

Sorry to hear about this and the end outcome.
What I can say to you after a bit of research after I burnt my hand in 2016 and had plastic surgery, skin grafts, physio,etc is that for some reason with burns, apparently the older you are, the better the recovery is!
The other good news is that you were in pain! If you get a burn and it is NOT painful, that is a bad sign (I had no pain from mine when it happened which I though was handy until they told me that was because the nerve endings were fried and actually pretty bad
)When the time is appropriate, there is a very good product that accelerate the healing process as well - Silcone Gel - that is worth discussing with the Plastic Surgeon if it has not been mentioned already. I only found out about this as a passing comment from another surgeon asking if I was using it - but it hadn't be discussed before for some reason.
I have the "Dermatix" brand one that is described as a "scar treatment for prevention and reduction of immature scars". Comes in a tube and you apply it to form a flexible clear skin over the scar.
Not a cheap product at over £1/gram but fortunately available on prescription!
And like you, I found the NHS's approach to burns patients outstanding and could not have been bettered, at least in my experience. I used to get asked by the staff how I felt about the burn (I think burns can potentially be very psychologically scarring as well as physical?) but in my case the burn was just a reminder to myself not to do the same thing again! (cooking oil fire that I checked was out and in checking reignited).
I was also advised to drink full-fat milk and red meat as that helps to promote healing. They liked to give pints of milk out on the ward at meal times.
I hope some of the above may have been of use. Best of luck with your recovery and healing. It will take time but I am sure it will all be good.

Thank you for the well wishes and the information, they have said that I have to have plenty of protein in my diet as this helps to promote healthy skin growth. There is a patch on my arm that I cannot feel, it is numb, the consultant thinks this may be deeper than a second degree burn, but it is still swollen so I'm hoping that once the swelling goes down that I will get feeling back in it. It is this patch that the plastic surgeon says might involve a skin graft. I see the burns specialist and plastic surgeon this comingTuesday.
Now I'm home my daughter is changing the dressings daily, as the amount of leakage is quite a bit, looks unsightly on the bandage, lucky for me she is a Matron who specialises in Skin tissue viability, for this reason I'm hopeful that they will let us go on holiday to Devon next weekend as my daughter will change the dressings as and when needed. On the ward they were dabbing pure olive oil on my face, but the plastic surgeon has recommended Bio oil from the chemist as a better option, so we are using this now.
I will look out for the cream you have recommended. I have also been told that I need to drink plenty of fluids, no mention of milk though, but I love milk so will Up my intake of it.my pride is more hurt than anything else for been so stupid, even my son cannot believe I did it as he is always moaning how over the top I am on health and safety when we have people working for us.

I won't post a picture of my hand after the graft as people might be having their lunch, but 3 years later it looks a lot better!
As you mentioned your arm, there is another product that I had from the specialist burns physiotherapists that might be good? - a pressure garment from "jobskin" (https://www.jobskin.co.uk/)
These are precise made-to-measure pressure garments that firmly compress the area and promote the healing. In my case I used to get 3 of them every three months (so could rotate their use so one to use while others washing and drying). And each three months, measured up for a new set as the scar compressed and healed (so each time the pressure glove would be made smaller to keep the right compression going).
I am sure the hospital staff will know about all these of course and so lucky that your daughter is not only a nurse, but with the ideal speciality as well. I found that those pressure garments really did seem to work. Stopped the use of those after around 2 years or so as they are the initial healing time as I understand it.

Thanks, my wife has moved the horse and pony's into the top field for now, she and my daughter tried burning it using firelighters, but the fire didn't take too. Might have to try some red diesel as suggested, but don't fancy doing it at the moment. Its still raw in my mind with what happened.

There are some good tree trunks under that foilage if anyone is near to Blackpool and wants some for a log burner or fire pit, I have a chain saw that can be used, buy my wife and daughter have now banned me from using machinery.
They have just paid the local farmer to pasture top the nettles and thistles whilst I was in hospital, I was doing it quitely myself with a petrol brush cutter, but I don't think I could strap the harness to myself now, knowing how much damage it could do if there was a petrol leak onto the engine and it set on fire. This incident has made me very wary.

Sorry about your injury and the damage to your self esteem but at least you're still on the twig and have a good support group around you. You do realise this could cost you a cruise. or even another horse.
Cheers

I'm safe about the cruise, with this Covid the wife doesn't fancy flying or cruising any time soon, but she has seen another horse, but I have said it's over priced and she agrees, so hopefully I will get off lightly on this occasion. Fingers crossed.

No more than any other motorhomer. Personally, I find it hard to see the difference.
