As time goes on, I am less and less able to walk about. The weakness and pain in my legs is mostly to blame. But last month, when I fell going down stairs, I realized that I can no longer take each step for granted. While going down stairs, which I rarely do, I turn sideways, hold on to the railing with both hands, and step down one step at a time. Last month, while going down stairs, was the first time I’ve ever fallen because my leg just went right out from under me. Thank goodness I was hanging on to the railing with both hands. It could have been a much nastier fall. Stairs are now off my itinerary.
