...and I'm sure my wife is tired of hearing me complain about it.

I am interest to hear more about the stair-climbing effects. In the morning I can climb the stair to my bedroom and bathroom just as a normal person would. Even run up the stairs. Evenings? Most of the time my wife goes upstairs to fetch my "home" clothes because after 5, I have only one (1) effort to go upstairs in me and I save it for bedtime. When I go my legs feel like cement and I have to also use the handrail to help pull me up.

Where's the dignity in that?

Complain away fellow sufferers... I hear ya'
