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.

    Typing is hard with one hand so bare with me. When I got shocked my arm immediately went numb from my hand to my elbow and still is. Shortly after my chest started hurting. I have heart problems as is. Went to urgent care for my hand but they sent me to the hospital for my heart. Still can’t feel my hand much - it’s weird, feels like it’s in plaster or something. Got a good burn on my hand but they said the feeling should return within 10 days.
