Quoth Food Lady View PostLOL, you guys. I drove 20 miles to the plastics doc this morning for him to tell me he can't tell how bad it is for 2 more weeks. So I'm supposed to go back. Add to the bills. To me it looks like a really bad popped blister now. The actual hole has scabbed over. I have feeling now; it has been sore all day whenever I touched anything. (I was instructed to leave it uncovered and function as usual). The actual injury site feels stiff. So we'll see.
I talked to my RN friend who told me if I'd had a heart episode, I'd have known by now. I think the ER docs were going to do an EKG but didn't. I have no idea if any problems will show up later, but worrying is of no use, though my mom keeps bringing it up. I think she's concerned because my brother has heart issues.
Certainly sounds like it could have been a heck of a lot worse - and I will pretty much repeat what the others have said, ALWAYS unplug when working on anything electrical. Make a habit of instinctively doing it.Violets are blue,
Roses are red,

A boot to the head >_>

Speaking of changing light bulbs, I've got a fluorescent tube in the kitchen that needs replacing.
Yesterday, I actually remembered to get a new tube. I put it next to the old one - yes, it's the right size. Open the fridge next to it to put the food away...
...and the cover for the light fitting promptly falls off the shelf where I'd put it several days previously, and lands squarely on the new tube. BANG.
It was still in it's box, so contained, but utterly shattered. The old tube, sat right next to it, is still intact. FML.
At least the tubes are not hideously expensive, but they are awkwardly large to carry back from the megaultrasuperhypermarket.

Getting a shock can be scary - to all those around. I've been lucky, I get a lot of minor shocks, but nothing major that I recall. Hubby, though, had a bad one a few years ago. He was being nice, and hanging something on the wall for me. FYI, yes, I can hang a picture myself, honest , but it needed one of those hooks you have to drill a hole for, and at the time, we only had a huge heavy drill. I have weak wrists, and with that drill, could never manage a straight hole. Anyway, he hadn't turned off any electricity, because based on where the nearest plug & switches were, there shoudn't be any wires anywhere near where he was drilling. He began to drill, and next thing we knew, there was a puff of smoke, and he was off the ladder & halfway across the room .
He was fine, shook up (as was I), no immediate or later problems, very lucky.
But we both learned a valuable lesson for life - just because things appear on the surface to be the same, never, ever assume that they really are the same when you've moved to a different country.
Madness takes it's toll....
Please have exact change ready.
