omg. i'm sorry you're suffering. I can't imagine applying heat right now. I had a 4 pm T appt today, so I was out catching the bus at 3:30 and 5 - very sunshiney times, 94 degrees which is around 30 canadian. I got home and thank god the pool was cool, I needed to dissipate some body heat. I told a fellow swimmer, I could see how blow-holes evolved, that would have felt so good today! I could not dunk my head enough. hopefully it will cool off in a couple of days.
