How Do You Cope? · Kelsey Waghorn: 'There’s nothing quite like someone telling you, "you are normal"' · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

Like they look horrific.

But yeah, like the initial burns, like you come in and you've got all this burnt tissue that has to be removed so that the first surgery is called a debridement.

And for me, I could show, but I've got long sleeves on.

But you have to, because I had circumferential burns, so burns that went all the way around my limbs, I had to have what are called esperotomy cut in.

And so from basically my shoulder right down to where the burns stopped.

So on my right arm, it was all the way down through my thumb.

And on my left arm, it's right down to my wrist because I had a bandage on my hand that day.

So my left arm's not burned as bad as my right.

um basically because as that burnt tissue constricts it restricts blood flow and it can actually kill the limb and so by the time i actually got to hutt hospital so sort of and it was about one in the morning that i got there and the eruption happened at

So let's say there's been about 12 hours before I got to surgery.

Slowly over those 12 hours, all that burnt tissue is constricting and actually restricting all that blood flow.

So in my medical notes from Heart Hospital, my first notes are my extremities are cold and clammy.

So it's like they're running out of blood.

They've run out of a blood supply.

So they have to kind of cut these giant big scars and to release that pressure.

And then they have to take all the burnt tissue off.

And obviously they have to put something there.

And so I had burns to 45% of my body.

So I had 55-ish of unburnt skin, which they had the potential to be used as donor skin.

And so they basically harvest that skin and stick it over where you don't have any skin anymore.
