Chuck Struck While Camping

10 years ago I was struck by lightning! It was very scary.

We were camping when a storm coming up in the distance. I was leaning against the camper with my leg leaning against a metal picnic table. The lightning hit the camper, went from my head all the way through my leg, into the picnic table, which grounded me out.

It blew up the TV, microwave, and all the outlets inside. (did I tell you that this happened on my Birthday?) I was literally paralyzed for a few seconds, from what I can remember. Tingled from my head all the way through my leg. The only physical mark is that I can't grow hair where the lightning came out of my shin. Everything was mental. ( no I am not a freak,) If I hadn't told you about this you would never know that anything had ever happened I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I can't work full; time because of anxiety, fatigue, short term memory loss, lack of concentration, but I am being treated by medication. I am on disability, though I can do anything you can do, maybe just not as fast. LOL

Whatever you do, DO NOT act like you are walking on egg shells, I don't like that. If you want to know something, ASK PLEASE. I can deal with this, and I feel that GOD gave me this testimony to show people can go through anything if you put your faith on GOD.

I hope this doesn't scare you off, because , believe it or not, this is where I lose most of the people that write me!

I hope to hear from you soon,

Chuck
