November 14, 2010: Hospital

Had a little mishap in the bakery today.  It's not all sweet things and good times.  There are a lot of dangerous aspects to the workplace especially when the machinery hasn't been updated in well over twenty years.  There is a reason the bread slicer and large ovens read "Must Be 18 To Operate."

Anyways, I was taking an item out of the oven and did not realize that there had been a piece of plastic on the floor.  I slipped and went backwards into the 400 degree rack.  I received several burns on the back of both of my arms and the top of my back.  Very painful indeed, but lucky for me concealable.  It stung so bad and I did not think that I could work anymore.  They had an ambulance come for me, but I didn't feel it was necessary.  I took the ride to Massachusetts General Hospital where they did the routine check for concussion or brain injury (a check that I have had to be a part of far too many times before).  They concluded that I just had low level burns and gave me an ointment to put on them.  Back to work in the morning.

Until next time,

Stay Sweet,
