Almost : Almost a week has gone by since the date of this post. I hope you are doing well at this point, and have seen a doctor. If not you need to seek care right away. For the future and for anyone reading this post, if you are "shocked" by any type of electrical wire, you need to seek medical help at once. Call 911 or have someone drive you to the er right away. This type of injury can lead to heart arrhythmias(irregular heart rhythms) which could be fatal. Please take good care.
