    DJ, I hope you see this, but you need to make sure you go get your heart checked regularly. A serious side effect of being shocked is heart failure. Most assume that means while you’re being shocked, but it’s not. The shock can scar/harden your heart so badly that it places you in heart failure long before others.
    This happened to my dad, many years later during a regular heart check the doctor asked “so when did you have your massive heart attack”. He never had one, come to find out it was when he had been electrocuted. Long as you get checked they have meds that can help slow down the side effects of heart failure and definitely help you live longer.
    Get your heart checked.

    Microwave transformers kill more amateur electronics enthusiasts than any other piece of equipment. You have to be damn careful and it's easy to become complacent about safety or distracted, and it's just a matter of time before you have an accident. Wearing rubber soled shoes, insulated gloves and keeping one hand behind your back so that electricity doesn't cross your heart are all safety measures that can save your life. Glad that DJ survived this, many don't.

As a squad leader to gather all intel & body parts at the kill zone, civilians 1st off would not do the jobs we do in the military & they would not do them for our pay we receive, yet we are the country's defense against attack yet we are treated as veterans as 2nd class citizens in our own hospitals, we are lab rats for STUDENT DOCTORS TO WORK ON, why aren't we held to the highest degree of respect by this country we serve as volunteers, not drafted, why are we not the richest people in this country since we are the ones who give up EVERYTHING to serve, but get shit on when we get out, this govt should ensure we are held on that ground that we fought & died for, where is our respect, think about 22 a day & really what that means, I am a survivor twice of 22 a day, thank you its my honor to serve, BANG. I was a jet engine mechanic/troubleshooter on launch & recovery on aircraft carrier/flight deck safety officer/squad leader reclamation (military version of 1st responder at jet crashs) team/ student training instructor sign off, just being a jet engine mechanic the licenses i need just to do that job alone requires a binder to hold.

    As a former adrenaline junkie with more than my share of near death experiences I can relate. My last near death experience laid me up in the hospital with several bones put back together with plates and screws. While laying there an old friend came to visit and said something to me that woke me up. He said "you are like cat with nine lives, but your problem is you are only 27 years old and you have already used up seven or eight of those lives". It hit me hard and I throttled back the danger dial from that point forward.

    Electricity going across your chest usually kills you if the current is high enough. I was on a 14' step ladder up in a ceiling and a maintenance man he'd used a green wire as a neutral on a 277v circuit. It went through my hand and out my shoulder blade into the ceiling grid. I had the involuntary muscle contractions. But broke free. Almost passed out and fell. A lucky day for sure. Yep, tasting copper. It's actually the minerals in your blood being polarized by the current, causing you to taste it.

    I had gone through a spinal surgery from my military injuries and went septic and lost the entire back of my neck and parts of my upper back. What more than likely prevented you from creating this enzyme was the previous head trauma that affects your thyroid that helps produce this particular enzyme. I topped out at what you describe as 1 to 10 at an eight, and my upper back and neck in just one day without notice starting pour liquid out of my upper back and back of my neck. I had been a Gunner’s Mate and worked with the Naval 5” Gun and had several hard concussions blast a few blasts from other weapons fire and also a tech on the vertical launch missile system. The doctors tested and I had severe hypothyroidism from brain trauma from the concussions. That still happens. Thank you for your dedication and service, I wish more service members can find solace in your story and survival. Best wishes to your family. I hope this information may answer the why of the how your body didn’t create this particular enzyme that normally your body makes to ensure that you sacrifice part of your body that’s dying to help,your survive these types of trauma.

    Amazing story. It's truly a miracle he’s alive!
    This reminded me of a close call I had when I worked as an electrician from ages 18 to 20 after graduating vocational school. Luckily, I never got electrocuted, but I had an experience that could’ve easily killed me.
    We were working in an old dairy factory that had been shut down since the 60s, which was set to be renovated into apartments. My task was to clear out an old distribution board in one of the machine rooms. I turned off what I thought was the power-unaware that these old boards had two switches, one by the terminal and another across the room. Being young naive and lazy, I didn’t check with my voltage meter to confirm the power was off.
    As I cleared most of the cables, one got stuck. I tried unscrewing it, but the threads were rusted. Frustrated, I yanked it. That’s when it happened-a massive boom, like a bomb went off right next to me.
    Smoke filled the room instantly, and the sharp, unforgettable smell of plasma. I felt this strange pressure in my chest, probably from the blast wave. For a few seconds, I couldn’t see or hear anything, and I genuinely thought I’d died. When I came to my senses, I checked my hands to make sure they were still there (thankfully, they were). I ran to open a window to clear the smoke. I called my boss and told him I thought I’d blown up the room. He said he thought he heard something and started laughing hysterically before asking if I was okay.
    The scariest part came later, realizing I’d been working in a live distribution board the entire time. That triggered a mini panic attack. By the end of that summer, I decided being an electrician wasn’t for me-guess I’m too big of a wimp, lol.
    Even now, the smell of something shorting takes me right back to that day.

    I’ve worked in construction since I was young helping my dad working for his company and we’ve done every trade when it comes to homes and as much as I have done electrical, I will never ever get comfortable being around electricity. It scares me every single time and that’s honestly the safest way to be in that industry. I was going to be an electrician for a living but I ended up going a different route for other reasons but I’m glad I don’t work with electricity everyday. I’ve been shocked many times but just little shocks replacing receptacles and stuff without turning the power off because I was dumb and lazy but electrical is one scary monster. Residential electrical is what was scary, most of commercial and industrial electrical is pulling wire and running conduit so it’s not as dangerous.

He yelled "I'm hit!" and jumped backwards off the truck with lightning running from his knees and toes to the truck! He had to take 5 days off to heal and he had a few rectangular scabs on his knee and big toe, but recovered. I've had 110, 220 and 440 volt shocks and fortunately I know how it feels to be that lucky and to still be here. Hang tough DJ. You have so far man!

    Most of my life I have had an extreme fear of electricity. I have seen and done many other dangerous activities. 13 years in te USMC, rappelling out of helicopters, cliffs, construction work off of very high buildings, SCUBA, free diving in the ocean, 24 years as a street cop with 5 years in narcotics. But electricity scares me. One day while I was working as a beat cop I bumped into an old high school friend of mine, were about 48 years old and 30 years out of high school. He said do you remember when you got shocked by aa 220 outlet? I said no, I do not remember that. He said when we were working at McDonalds in our senior year of school, I was either unplugging or plugging into 220 volt out let. It shocked me and sent me flying across the room and I slammed into a wall or something. I guess I was ok, I went back to work. I must have been in a daze`or had a concussion. After he told me about that incident, I got to thinking and I do kind of remember and I figured why I do not like messing around with electricity.

At the end of a video, about cleaning up the pool, to get it ready for summer, Diane showed the panels and the earrings I made for her as well, and thanked me. This was probably about 3-4 years ago.

    #2 have the knowlege of high voltage circuits and the safety systems required to operate and build them.
