Better keep medical records. The ringing never goes away. You'll need the records for disability claims later. Why was such a device not properly taken care of?

More than likely it was a dud and it went off accidently, had it been a fully loaded device this accident would have been tragic.

Daily Horoscope for May 18

Aquarius

Watch out if you're going shopping, because you'll be tempted to splash out on impulse buys. This doesn't matter so much if you're feeling flush, but it could cause problems if you're supposed to be counting every penny. Whatever the state of your finances, you may buy items you don't need and possibly even won't like when you look at them again tomorrow.
