Success

What a lot of steps!

One last dune!

Success!

Success! I made it down the dune and was able to walk on the beach in MI this past Monday! I have to thank my therapists who worked very hard to simulate the conditions on the walk to the beach during my therapy. Thanks also to Terri who had the great privilege of escorting me to the beach so I didn't fall--which I didn't. All she had to do was hold tight to the back of my pants a couple times! Oooooo-weeee!

Now all I need is a beach chair, umbrella, some SPF30 lotion, and a good summer book to relax on the beach. WHOOPEE!  Actually, I will still need a lot more work before I can go swimming in the lake or walk barefoot on the beach, but it's a start! I'll keep you posted!

Cheers!
