I'm just in shock. I feel absolutely numb. I can hardly think.
This afternoon, I was making Heather's Orange Cranberry Bread (excellent btw) when my dad came home and asked if I could help him for a minute. He had gotten my microwave fixed, and was bringing it back, but it fits into a deep microwave cabinet above the oven, so it's hard to pug back in. He asked if I could plug it in while he slid it into place. (We've done this several times.)
Well, I plugged it in, and there was a huge explosion. A terrible boom, and then sparks shooting out across the floor. I was standing there pondering how to stamp out the fire on the floor, when I felt a searing pain in my chest. I was wearing a halter top, and my whole chest in the deep V-neck is absolutely black. My skin got burned in the flash explosion.
My metal necklace had fallen against the contact when I plugged it in, and that's what caused the explosion. It was thrown back and then hit my neck, so you can see the outline of the necklace in my chest, like a deep ridge.
It hurts. Tremendously. But mostly, I just feel in shock. I keep hearing the explosion, and seeing the sparks dancing across the floor. I can't keep anything in my mind.
I mean, I'm used to pain. Really. I've had heart surguries without any anesthesia or pain meds or sedation or anything. The pain isn't that pick of a deal (relatively). I've just never felt so *shocked*.
Has anyone else every gotten seriously hurt in an "accident" type thing? Did you feel numb after?
Help....
