"Kristian Huselius cares for serious burns.
Now the former hockey star tells about the nasty accident.
- We'll see and wait for what permanent but I get. The doctors say I am being restored. I'm glad I live, says the 40-year-old.
It was Saturday that the former NHL player Kristian Huselius took it easy in the apartment in Stockholm. His chimney-free fireplace extinguished and he would replenish with more fuel.
- The flames and heat hit me directly and I caught fire on the upper body. It went on a millisecond and I threw myself back, Huselius says.
He was transported to the emergency room by ambulance and received immediate care.
- Donīt know how I managed to alert 112 or get the door to the ambulance staff. But somehow I solved it before I collapsed.
- We have great hospitals in Sweden and the ambulance staff were extremely professional. I want to thank everyone who helped me and everyone who supported me via SMS and nice greetings, he says.
Huselius has burns on the upper body and the worst is on the face and on the shoulder.
- The skin on the face is not dead. I will of course get some scar, but I am glad it is not worse. On the shoulder, the skin is probably dead, so they will transplant skin from other parts of the body. The doctors are positive and think I will be completely restored. And I will, there is nothing else. I also have an injury to one cornea, but our fine health care will probably fix it as well. We'll see and wait for what permanent scars or but I get. For me there is nothing else but to be restored, but at the same time I am happy that I live and that all body parts are intact.
He wants to thank all the nice greetings and warn others.
- I can only advise everyone to be careful with open fire and follow all the safety regulations that exist. I have learned, through a tough and painful path.
For the weekend, the oldest daughter plays Stella Ungdoms-SM (Swedish youth champioship) in handball.
Huselius hopes to be present at the championship in Karlstad.
