[Bucky... why did you not tell him about this sooner? John takes a breath.]
Are you anywhere near one of the houses that has hot water? Can you get to one of them in a day or so? I know down at the entrance the aquarium has hot water all the time in the sink. That's definitely frostbite. I don't want to scare you, Jay, but it sounds like you're at the point of needing partial amputations. We want to salvage as much tissue as possible, though, and that means rewarming your arm where it's connected to the metal. Trying to rewarm only to have it freeze again would cause worse damage, though. And you'll need treatment over a few days to keep as much of your arm as possible.
[If they were doing this right and in a hospital, he'd have Bucky in for at least a month, but they don't have that kind of time.]
Thawing can take up to an hour for something that serious, and the clinic only has hot water for 10 minutes a day. It's gonna hurt like hell when we rewarm it, too, so you'll need pain medication.
