OMG, we must be related I do things like that too(although I've never washed a cat in the machine)
I have a new cell pone now because last week my husband kept complaining he couldn't find ours..so we searched the yard and found it...right where we stood a couple nights aog as something unidentified popped loudly and shot up in flames out of the bonfire he built ...you get the picture? Hmm, must have fallen off his belt...
No suggestions on your cell, all you can do it try to dry it out, just thought you'd like some company in your misery. Sometimes it's nice to know you aren't the only one...
