Oh no! I got hit by a flailing rope and pulled a muscle in my left arm in my second month of learning to handle a bell.
I think it was good for me that my ringing trajectory involved learning to handle a bell first over the nine months I spent studying in the UK, at the end of which I was at the level of ringing rounds and call changes -- and then having to relearn everything when I took up ringing again 7 years later -- it took me a few months to get back to the level I left off at, and then a few more months after that until I was considered ready to ring without someone watching over me. I am not a fast learner for anything requiring physical coordination, but I am a stubborn one.
