Got electrocuted today (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

If you haven’t already, you should probably be taking to a lawyer. Somebody fucked up and almost killed you. They have insurance for that.

My bestie is a lawyer. I'm not talking to anyone until I talk to her.

Edit: She referred me to a personal injury lawyer

Oh, so she's a real lawyer; one who knows about specialties.

Sounds like that hospital bill is gonna get taken care of for you, and I don't think you're gonna need to worry about having time to play video games while you recover from being nearly manslaughtered. I'm glad you're still with us, bud!
