APRIL 24 TH STARTED TO BAR B Q SOME STEAKS ON THE GAS GRILL, FLAME WAS NOT GOING GOOD SO I GOT ON MY KNEES  & CHECKED TO SEE IF ANY THING WAS WRONG WITH THE GAS LINE FEEDING INTO THE TANK..AT THAT TIME  THE GAS GRILL EXPLODES ON MY FACE AND BODY GIVING ME 2ND DEGREE BURNS…BELEIVE ME WHEN I SAY THAT THERE IS NO WORST PAIN THAN BURN PAIN. (and i’ve had a total hip replacement)..WHEN THE EXPLOSION OCCURED , BY THE TIME I CAME AWARE,  MY HAIR AND FACE WERE ON FIRE SO I COVERED MY FACE AND HAIR WITH A SHIRT TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. TRYED TO MOVE THE GRILL OFF THE PORCH WHICH WAS NOT A GREAT IDEA BUT I  DID SO THE HOUSE WOULD NOT CATCH ON FIRE THEN CALLED 911. WHILE I’M WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO ARRIVE I  POURED COOL WATER ON MY FACE AND BODY(i feel this saved my face and body from scaring) IN FACT I JUST RAN THE SHOWER ON ME WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVE! I FEEL 100% THAT MY  GOOD CONDITION NOW,AFTER THE FIRE IS DUE TO BODY BUILDING DUE TO BEING IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND GREAT HEALTH. THE DR’S ARE/HAVE BEEN PLEASED BY MY BODY’S ABILITY TO RECOVER AND THIS IS ALL DUE TO KEEPING IN SHAPE AT 60 YRS OLD…IF YOU LOOK AT THE PIC WITH ME IN SUN GLASSES IT’S BECAUSE MY EYELASHES AND EYEBROWS WERE BURNED OFF AND LOOKS KIND OF DIFFERENT SO I DECIDED TO WEAR GLASSES….I’M NOW IN PAIN WITH LIPS,HANDS AND NOSE BUT CONT. TO IMPROVE….OH ALL THIS WAS FROM A FAULTY GAS TANK SOLD TO ME FROM HOME DEPOT, FIRE RESCUE SAID THE TANK HAD A BAD STEM WITH A SMALL HOLE IN IT!
