lsdiamondSo last Sunday, before we went out to Jim & Nancy's, Scooter got the shock of his life... 12 volts across his heart - in one arm, and out the other. (1.2 volts can kill you if it crosses your heart.) Jim was welding on the shop we've all been helping to build, and apparantly something slipped.
Anyway, he was fine for a couple of days, but then started having severe chest pains, and yesterday, his left arm started going numb at various intervals. That's kinda scary.
So I've been praying (and worrying) about this for some time now - that any damage done would be completely healed, and that his overall health would be surprising to the doctors in charge.
Today he was able to see someone at the Kingston clinic about it. They said that the jolt basically threw off his heart's rhythm, and to take ibuprofen for the pain for awhile. The numbness should stop in a few weeks. He's fine. Thank you, Lord!
Not only that, but they said he is in far better health than he should be after a shock like that. He said his blood pressure is better than it's ever been in his life. Second answer to prayer.
Needless to say, I feel a lot better now.
