Sorry for your troubles, skywalker[TSG]. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif
You really zapped yourself, didn't you?
All I can say at this point, is to be careful with all that medication since it will most likely be gone in 10 days anyway. (I hate medication)

Sorry to hear that skywalker http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif
err Sparkie.. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
I too hate medications. Your sense of humor and taking care of yourself are the best medicines, IMO.

Worst shock I ever got that I remember (grabbed a 220V line when I was 3 that I still have scars from, but don't recall) was a monitor. I had a spark leap a couple inches from the flyback transformer and into my hand. Sorta like putting your tounge on a substation if I had to rate it. Shocks are not something to mess around with though. A solid shock can cause nerve problems like Skywalker is having, and can cause a heart attack hours or even days after the incident. It pays to be safe and have any jolt checked out.
Skywalker/Sparkie, hope you make a full recovery. I don't think it would be a good time to take up kite flying near any power lines or thunderstorms. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

im all fine know they put me on some really groovy drugs i got high from them but then i took 5 pills every 3 hours instead of 1 pill/3h lol
I had a computer/electrical engineering lecturer who used to throw charged capacitors at sleeping students. He did this for a long time till it was considered asssault and somewhat illegal.
don't feel too bad
