So... I almost died.
    8 years ago
            So, most of you are unaware of what I do for a living but I work in construction as a pipefitter and a welder. Well today my partner managed to cause my heart to stop by not allowing me to ground the welding machine. See, he was pressing the welding rod against the steel as I went to attach the ground to the building. Well, what had happened was all of that amperage and voltage that should have gone into the building went into my body instead and caused my heart to stop which caused me to fall out of a ten foot ladder and onto the back of my head. I was lucky enough to be wearing my hard hat so I only have a pretty bad concussion but also my foreman was nearby and knew how to use a defibrillator to revive me and brought me to the hospital. The doctor said I was very lucky to be wearing my hardhat and to have someone nearby to help me otherwise I most certainly would have died from either blunt force trauma from falling or you know... Heart stopping. But I am alive and back at home so... There is that.

What are you going to do about this though? and how long are you going to be out? Or plan to return to work?
