Welcome to TheDMV's Journal. Please proceed in reading the text below in an orderly fashion. No cutting in line. No pushing. No asking why.
I just tried it for the first time in years today!!
I had my first real spill on the rink floor. Yeah...fell right onto my tailbone (not fun). It sure didn't help that I'd been fighting off an annoying headache earlier in the day. The impact traveled right up my spine and aggravated that little sucker.
I got back on the floor, though! It took me several minutes to recuperate, and one of the aides came over and said I needed to help her fill out a record for the accident, but I GOT BACK OUT THERE!!! My older brother, who drove me to the rink in the first place, gave me some very valuable pointers and helped me ever-so-patiently get the hang of things.
By the time we left I hadn't truly gotten the technique down yet, but I was getting close! From complete and utter beginner to nearly grasping the side-to-side motion, I'd say I'm satisfied with that progress.
Apart from that, it was a pretty uneventful day.
