I envy those of you that can still maneuver stairs. Maybe it's because I hardly ever use them that I'm so bad on them! I have a terrible time walking up or down stairs. It's like I can't synchronize my legs to move in harmony with one another. I almost have to take one step at a time.....putting both feet on one step before taking another step. Needless to say, I avoid stairs like the plague. And I nearly panic when I have to use them.
