    I hate stairs! Yes, going up is fairly normal but not fast, for sure. Going down...where's the elevator? Still can't do it in two legged fashion...one step at a time leading with the good or is it bad leg? Some days I can't tell as the left PKR might be stiffer than the "new" TKR. I feel like such an old lady on them. I hope this too shall pass.

      Up with the good. Down with the bad...:-)

      My left knee needs to be done next year. Going down stairs puts stress on it. Augh! I may never not look like an old lady doing stairs!!!

      Walk down stairs backwards for a while, while you get used to bending your knee

      Thank you. I'll give that a try. Now if I keep clumsiness under control and don't trip...backwards. wink
