my very first fall. brilliant
tbh, it was also my very first time out on my own so it was BOUND to happen (see what i did there... *grins*).
however, i am eternally grateful to everyone who said wrist protectors were a MUST and i'm so pleased i invested in some good ones. not even a niggle in the wrist department, and considering it was a full on face-plant, "i have fallen" moment, i am highly impressed with them
the main issue once hitting the ground was that i have yet to master the "getting up unaided" maneuver. so after flailing around like some strange upturned turtle for a while, i had to resort to removing my bocks and staggering to the nearest bench in that well known i-meant-to-do-that fashion:Ctwitcy:
my knees are pretty banged up though *sad* although wearing jeans i have avoided any grazing. stupidly, i didn't purchase any knee pads
might be time for another little shopping spree methinks. i got straight back on them and staggered home, but it has resolved that i must must MUST get out this weekend and learn how to get up in a slightly more elegant manner for the future
now, i am off to fetch the frozen peas and clean off
