Lowes hooked up a new washer/dryer combo, but when I ran it the water backed up. I went to clean it up and got electrocuted somehow.
My hand is fucked but my heart is OK, so I got out lucky. Spent the whole day in the hospital and I’m dreading the bill (thanks USA). So much for my plans of gaming over the holiday - can’t do much with one hand.
The breaker to that room is off and I’m keeping the pets out until an electrician can come.
“Electrocuted” specifically involves death, so in extreme, annoying pedantry, if you lived to tell the tale, technically you were only shocked and not electrocuted
Damn I’m surprised your hand is fucked, that really sucks! I’ve taken both 120V and 240V across the hand but was lucky with no serious injuries. Electricity is a dice roll.
Ty for clarification
Dying isn’t always permanent
Yes it is, if you were revived, you weren’t dead.
You can be clinically dead and revived. That’s kind of a prerequisite to being revived.
I was going to say this, but when he mentioned the ER, I figured it was close enough.
That’s a shocker
This correction is shockingly out of line.
