To the OP: I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Just hearing about something like that happening gives me the shivers! And not to kick you while you're down, but turning it on without making sure it's absolutely bone dry is the worst thing you could do after a water dip. My advice to you at this stage would be to leave it to air dry for about a week, as a last ditch effort. If you have some those desiccant packets that come with packaged foods, even better. Put your device into a sealable bag like a Ziplock along with those packets to save a day or two in time.
To those suggesting rice to dry out electronics: I understand you see this advice all over the internet with many people claiming that it works, but rice does not have that kind of drying power. Those who claimed it saved their device would have had the same result had they left rice out of the equation. Admittedly, if you live in a very humid climate the rice would help keep the relative humidity in the immediate area comparatively low, but even then the drying effect would be miniscule, (if measurable).
In a best case scenario, rice will have no plus/minus effect on your machine. In a worst case scenario, broken rice grains and husk dust get inside the exposed ports and vents and make what would have been just a drying issue, into a foreign contamination issue. If you use mineral/vitamin enriched rice, it's even worse...
