Notes on the experience?
Not much to say. I was climbing on this stand/shading structure. when I tried to get down, I fell, landed on my feet and fell back. I hit my bottom, then my elbow, then my hand. My hand hurts the most, but since it's almost been a week, it's all good. Except today, I jumped off a planter and did a slap-down instead of a roll and hit that hand again. ouch. oh well. I'm ok though.
