Great news, Coz!  May I suggest a stairs strategy from my own limited experience.  Your butt is your friend.  Sit down on the top or bottom step and go up/down on your ass one step at a time.  And maybe get a second walker for upstairs.  It's a lot easier than wrestling it up and down your narrow stairway.   As for "blowing the joint", I'd wait until you get home, and don't forget to suck the joint before you blow.  It works better that way.

hehehehe
Bill, tgo

I decidedly have not ruled out the butt-scoot maneuver (especially considering that the steps I've been working on are up to current code, and mine, as you know, are a whole 'nother smoke).  And there'll be a walker on each main floor, plus one in the basement (where my shower is).

When the youngster headed north, they brought me clean clothes & Halloween candy; he included a non-Halloween candy.  I've been torn between the improved mellowness & sleep quality, and being under the influence in here; maybe tonight, maybe at home.

Good to hear you'll be home tomorrow. As long as you heed the MD, OT, PTs recommendations,  it's a far better place to recover physically while staying sane than a rehab facility or hospital.

On advise of council, last night.  Very nice evening.

So glad you will be home for the Holiday.  Keep working at it Peter!  The only reason I walk as well as I do is PT after I broke my leg in half in the 80's. 


I hear you in the non code stairs, just be careful and don't take a "free ride" to the bottom.  Its fast, but traumatic.
The only thing that stays the same is change.

Yeah - 6 weeks ago the stairs were a 1-minute, worry-free jaunt; today they're a 10-minute exercise in exhaustion and terror.......
But, still and all - so glad to be home!

Good to hear you are home. Hospitals are lousy places to convalesce.

As to the stairs I had an aunt who had back troubles from her nursing days. One day I asked her why she went down the stairs backwards and she said it put a lot less strain on her back and it was easier to keep her balance. I gave it a try this past summer after pulling some back muscles and it worked for me as well. It is worth a shot if you haven't tried it.

Hey Peter, was thinking about you this morning. Hope you are doing well at home. Much safer than a hospital at our age, these days especially. Healing thoughts your way.
Live each day like your hair is on fire.
