Need rest...

I push myself real hard, always.. This time around, I messed myself up. A week ago, I was carrying trays of freshly cooked Charshu down to my walk-in. The speedrack was full and disorganized, so I try pulling out the raw chickens, Pork shoulders(heavy) on separate trays and since the speedrack is in a tight spot, I YANKED the sheet pan to get it out. It wouldn't move. I yank on it some more and it springs back with all that weight behind it, and the corner of the sheetpan hits me in the left chest. I always keep my lucky pen in my left chest pocket, and that became the point of pressure and I heard/felt something 'give'. I got the wind knocked out of me, but I shrugged it off and soldiered on.

 

Fastforward to today. I could barely walk, let alone drive to the Restaurant. I tried opening the gates, and I felt something give again.. This time the pain was enough to drop me to the floor, in agony. Ohhh shit.

 

So, a trip to the ER all day today. Did Xrays, and all the other fun stuff. I have a bruised inner chest/rib. From a Sheetpan?? WTF!? Well, atleast nothing broke, but I can't do shit in the kitchen. I have to take meds and stay put... TGIF my ass
