Consider that you just gave yourself a free ECT treatment? You will begin to feel happier any day now.

Sorry, my bad. Feel better, okay?

Even if you had a worse shock than you describe, there isn't anything they can do for you now... the main problem with being electrocuted is, well, death... you stop breathing..but that's at the moment it occurs (it stops your heart.) You didn't have that happen, fortunately, and are doing rather fine now.

(I was just somewhat shocked from a lightening bolt yesterday. I'm am quite fatigued and of course achy and bruised from the near-hit experience. But I'll be ok too.)

corrected spelling (I think) Actually, it isn't the voltage that kills you, it's the associated amperage. (Amperage is the strength of the electrical current.) Quite a jolt in any case.
