Electric Boogaloo

Last night was weird. My roommate is in the process of moving out, some time around 5:00 am she was using my vacuum cleaner and grabbed a spot on the cord where the rubber has somehow been removed and managed to electrocute her arm. Luckily, as of this morning it hasn't turned black and fallen off yet, but electrical burns arc inside the body, so really they're hard to gauge. From what we can see though, the blistering looks somewhat minor and roommate is following all the post electrocution protocol: ice, ointments, not touching the vacuum anymore...

Now I need to figure out how I'm going to patch up the cord on my brand new vacuum. T_T
