I prefer candlelight

in #photography7 years ago (edited)


Last night I went to plug in one of our antique lamps and got a nasty shock. Apparently I got hit with at most 120 volts of electricity. Do I know this for a fact? No, but I have little blisters that instantly formed from contact on my thumb, pointer and middle finger. I also caused the entire upstairs floor to short circuit. 

I was hit with confusion and disbelief moments after my accident had occurred. I safely made my way downstairs, told @kommienezuspadt that I got shocked and then went to put my hand under running cold water. He didn’t fully understand the situation until he found me sitting on the floor. My fingertips were a little swollen and were covered in scorch marks from the socket. I went to bed feeling a little off, hand resting on top of an icepack.

Today I was feeling a bit irritable. I have feeling in my fingertips but my nerves feel sensitive. I’m thankful that it wasn’t my dominate hand. It also feels slightly numb/tingly from my hands to my forearm. I’ve been behaving rather impatiently. I want this feeling to go away soon because it’s distracting. I wasn’t able to remove the cap from my lipstick today because I couldn’t get my grip right, also typing is really difficult. With both hands going, I can tell that my timing is slightly off. 

From now on, I guess I’ll have to light the entire house with oil lamps and candles. 


Thanks for reading. 🦊

Damn, you got shocked good😱 Hope the feeling in your hand goes back to normal soon!

There definitely is a downside to loving vintage items, beautiful but sometimes deadly!

Thanks! I hope so too. It’s still kinda numb but I know it’ll get better. We’re looking to get the lamp fixed up because it would be a waste to toss it. Such a weird love hate relationship I’m having with an inanimate object.

Your ok though, gonna have to see someone?

Shocking shocks stun the stunning.

Meh, I’m a tough cookie. My heart didn’t stop so my brain tells me that I should just sit tight. If the feeling in my hand gets worse then I’ll be forced to go in.

:-(. Hope it heals up right, try not to be so electrifying.^_^

Hi @vermillionfox, it's good to hear you're fairly okay.

I hope it doesn't get worst.

Do take good care of yourself, and enjoy the forced romantic season at home (candlelights)

Blessings

Thanks so much @iamthegray.

I hope it doesn’t get worse either. I’ve spent a couple of minutes replying back to comments and there is still some discomfort.

Think you should take a couple of hours off typing?

That sounds terrible :O.
I don't like doctor either, but might as well go if you feel any worse.
And I'm not sure about oil lamps and candles... I think they're even more accident prone ^^;.

I think I’m feeling better....or maybe I’m stubborn! Haha! I know, sometimes I worry too but I’ll be extra careful not to set my precious treasures (and myself) aflame.

Looks awesome! When you light the entire house with candles, we want to see photoooooos :-)

I did a little shoot today with lots of candles today. It doesn’t seem like much since they’re tiny but it definitely was a lot for me! I’m getting ready to share the first preview image soon. ^^

oh no! that sounds very uncomfortable ; __ ; be careful in the future, foxy!

pretty pictures~ * ___ *

Super uncomfortable! Now I know to inspect the wires before plugging anything in.

oh nice shoot . photographer and model do a good job thank you .
i love the two pictures. the second one let see a tattoo . and i love that the model have a bad ass feeling . light and shadows are perfect . light is warm . purple of this upskirt is just cool . look and the body position
... i want to be your chair to be honest ... not for sodomise you of course
just for suport you more than a simple upvote

Oh no friend! As long as you had an entry an exit point (usually you can tell by scorch marks in opposing parts of the body) you should be ok. One of my brothers shocked himself bad and this is what the Dr. told us.
Rest and take a day to yourself today.
Xo⭐️💜

Thanks so much for your concern! 💜 I don’t remember the direction of the scorch marks but I’ve been reminding myself to take it easy and it’s helping. :)

@vermillionfox - I'm truly sorry to hear about your incident. Thankfully you have come out relatively unscathed. Take care now.
