Oh gosh! That's awful. Thank you for taking the time to keep us informed. Please let your husband know we wish him well.
I am so sorry. Prayers for his complete and quick recovery.Yesterday was a devastating day for my family. I received a call around 4:00 A.M. that my husband was being transported to the hospital and that I should get there right away. My husband is a lathe operator in a plywood plant. He’s told me that he works with sharp blades and has to be very careful. I was so worried that he had lost a finger, hand, arm or something. I was completely shocked to find out what had really happened. He went to turn a 480 volt breaker back on and it exploded on him. I’m not very knowledgeable in the electrical department to explain it better. He called it an arc flash? He has horrible 3rd degree burns all over his entire right arm. His arm looks like a burned piece of firewood. Pitch black and flaking. He’s very lucky that his arm was in front of his face. I can’t imagine the pain that he is in. Today he is going to a burn specialist to have skin graphs done. He was electrocuted in the explosion as well and is being monitored. We’re very fortunate that he’s still alive.
In view of the circumstances, we are not going to be able to travel to get our sulcata this weekend. We’re very sad about it but my husband’s recovery is top priority right now. We’re hoping we can find another to adopt in the future. Thanks again for all the support.
Poor kitty, I wonder what he made if his new diet [emoji23] Wishing you all well.The Mazuri Cat Food story is pretty funny Glad he's doing alright and I hope things continue to improve. Keep us updated

[emoji23] great revenge!Batman got revenge on my mom. I got a call from her a little bit ago. She went to the store to get a “few” things. While she was packing groceries in, Batman knocked a rotisserie chicken off the counter. The plastic container came open and Batman packed the chicken to a safe spot, the bathtub, to eat his chicken. I can’t even be mad at him.
I'm so sorry that things are looking worse than everyone thought. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope the news is better soon. Take care of yourself.Josh didn’t get to come home yesterday. His liver and kidney function have been effected from the electricity. At this point, I don’t know what the next move is. We thought he was going to be okay but the tests are not coming back good. I’ve showed him all the support that we’ve been getting here on the forum. It means more to us than I can even put into words. Thank you.
If anyone from the west coast wants to take in an 80 lbs male sulcata for a big chunk of change, please let me know. The owners of the tortoise aren’t understanding the gravity of the situation and still expect me to take him. I feel guilty that I had to back out but from this point forward, it’s not my responsibility. If anyone wants him please leave a comment, the owner is a member and can contact you. I’ve got bigger problems. I’m not tying to be disrespectful but please understand that I might be losing my husband which is bigger than needing to rehome a tortoise. Please be considerate as I am trying to do the same. Thank you.
