I went swimming!  This is the first time I’ve been in the water in about four years, so I was super excited about it.  I was pretty concerned about getting in and out of the water, but it actually turned out very well!  I was able to transfer from my wheelchair on to the little set of stairs that Becca’s pap made (it’s just two steps).  From there, I scooted down to the ground from the steps, then lowered myself into the water with one hand on the edge of the pool and one hand on the rail of the pool stairs.  Getting out was pretty much that exact same procedure, but in reverse.  I must have been in that water for about an hour and a half…it was incredible.  Can’t wait to do it again!
