Falling on stairs can be catastrophic. The inadvertent blessing at my house is the ramp that I installed several years for my aging dog to use to avoid added injury to her leg.

She died in the interim, but the ramp stayed.

Once my neuropathy manifested itself in the form of pain, the attendant problems with numbness and problems with telling exactly where I was placing my left foot have shown me the blessing of using the old dog's ramp.
