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.

    Shocks can kill you later by causing irregularities in your heart (arrhythmia?). Anyway, had a carpenter on a site get shocked, refuse care, and die at home, hours after his work day ended from a heat attack. Always get checked after a shock.
