I am so sorry you got burned. I know how bad that feels. But, like you said, at least your baby was at a safe distance.
I got burned pretty good once when, after I'd just cleaned the range, my at-the-time DH came home and boiled something over. Without thinking how hot the heating element would still be immediately after shutting off the burner, I grabbed the thing with my right hand to remove it and clean up the mess. Immediately, I had the perfect imprint of the element on my palm. To add insult to injury, I had been making homemade doughnuts...cake and raised...all day and had the oil heating in the wok to fry the doughnuts in when this happened. I smeared my whole palm with my 'magic cure-all for burns' and wrapped my hand heavily in gauze and fried all the doughnuts with the hand. Next day when I removed the gauze, there was one tiny reddish spot at the base of my thumb.
I do so very much hope you are better soon! {{Hugs}}
