i do know how it feels to not be able to do the things you did..say even a week ago. or do them and..well..suffer for it.

moving down stairs sounds like a smart thing to do. it does put you closer to the kitchen for midnight snacking. having that less worry about falling might relly help. plus no recovery time from the falls.

so are you packing already? hehehe...i would be so anxious for the winter to be over i'd be living out of boxes. we are thinking of down sizing too. when we bought this house we had no idea that we would have our granson full time. this ain't a house for a little boy and his meme to play hide n seek....super hero's ( i am spiderwoman ) too much glass..marble floors..and my little guy...he is a finger print monster.

oh...btw my kudos to yu for giving those children a chance at a better life. you are one special man.
