Welcome home! This is probably not one of those occasions of "Some day you'll look back at this and laugh" but it does sound like you are one lucky fella.
My father burned his leg from shin to knee once when he and my brother were burning out a yellow jacket nest in a field. He always said that he knew better than to do what he did: stick out his shoe and roll the "empty" gasoline can closer to the fire but found himself doing it anyway.
He doctored and dressed his leg for more than a year but except for permanent bad scars eventually everything came right. But it was a most exciting time.
