hey mark, don't beat yourself up so much. mistakes happen. it's the risk we all take when swing dancing. i felt horrible when i found out what happened because i wasn't there. idk, i guess i just feel like it's my duty to be there, and i couldn't because i was lying in bed with stupid mononucleosis. ugh. i'm just thankful that callie's ok now. i've been so worried. take care, ok? ttyl.

Owie. Don't sweat it. Swing dancing is a dangerous pastime. I'm sure she'll be okay.

we all know the risk we are taking, it was nobody's fault.

plus it makes an interesting story if you add the move is called stripper pole....

There is no point in beating yourself up. Though, regardless of what anyone says, you'll still probably are going to just because you are a guy and a raider, which believe it or not adds to it. I know what you are going through because it happened to me my freshman year at swing also, but with my accident, which was also my first, the chances where a lot higher of her getting seriously injured because she had scoliosis and if any one of the screws or metal things in her back had broken she would be paralyzed for life. Thankfully, nothing broke and she was fine though I was almost out for two weeks and I still have trouble with my back to this very day. No one thought it was going to happen and no one is really to blame; the point of the matter is that it was an accident and no matter how anyone tries it will always be an accident. We all have learned a lesson and I think we all should be glade that no one got permanently injured. No one holds any hatred toward you and no one blames you. That being said, I hope that you will continue coming to swing because you are a valued member. I hope you have a good weekend and make sure you do your counseling!! LoL Ttyl Bye.
