Well. I just gave myself the worst electric shock of my life so far. It's been about 30mins since and I still feel kinda wierd, a little out of it, and I have a headache.
I was working on fencing and accidentally toched a live wire with my right temple while grounded through my hands to a t post. I felt a sharp pain in my temple and heard a crack. Everything went black and I came to on the ground moments later with my wife asking if I was ok. Aparently I also let out a wierd sound. I had to lie there for a while before I could even sit up let alone stand and walk.
I am now inside lying down
Can your wife take you to an emergency room or urgent care? It's good that you're alive, but since it went through your head to your hand, made you go unconscious, and you still feel weird it would be good to make sure that it didn't mess anything up w/ your brain or heart. I hope you're okay.
Thank you for asking. I am feeling a lot better now. My ballance had been off and my speech was slow and garbled. I was also having trouble thinking of the proper words to communicate what I was thinking. I do still have a headache and feel a little weird, but I don't feel out of it anymore.
My wife can't drive. She was about to call 911 apparently and had the phone in her hand as she was walking towards me asking if I was ok. I managed to answer her and say it "yeah" after she asked a few times, so then she put her phone away and went back to what she was doing. I didn't know at the time that she had been walking towards me.
I don't think there is much besides palutive care that can be done for an electric shock, unless there are burn injuries, which there are not. If I need to I can drive to a hospital as I am feeling a lot better now, but I certainly wouldn't have been able to drive earlier.
