Here's a little update
I managed to get over to the hospital about an hour and a half ago, and they referred me to this special department that deals with burns. The bandage came off and my hand looked very strange, it was red/white and swollen where the worst of the burn was (between my thumb and my forefinger). The doctor looked at it for about ten minutes then judged it to be a (translated) superficial second degree burn, which is better than I initially thought. If it had burned slightly deeper I probably would have needed a skin graft, so I was lucky in this respect. In the end he wrapped my hand up in this light bandage and gave me some cream which I'm only supposed to apply after the first week, provided the burn has healed to a certain degree. He says it should heal substantially in 14-18 days, so I hope he's right. I'm lucky it's my right hand and not my left, otherwise writing this would be even slower than it already is.
I'd like to thank everyone for their support and sympathy, god bless all of you. It's wonderful to have such good friends.
