Zapped...yes, I screamed!

No, I did not get shocked by our electric fence, but a shock did I receive! So today after we returned from our weeklong trip to Nakuru I took a much needed hot shower and then went to dry my hair. As I was unplugging the piano in the room I am staying in, I received the shock of my life. I literally have never felt anything like it. I was frozen in place for a brief moment, which was then followed by me rolling backwards screaming and clutching my arm. Emily and Stephanie come running to the doorway asking me what is the matter. I honestly could not speak for a minute and just screamed, rolled on the ground, and clutched my arm. Finally, I was able to get out I got shocked so they both come running into the room to console me and see if I am okay. Yes, I am fine…just had a tingle in my hand and arm for the rest of the night. Funny thing is neither Emily or Stephanie wanted to enter my room because they thought I was screaming because of a bug! That tells you how many screams we have around here do to bugs! Fun times in Africa! :)
