May I ask what happens when you have to use stairs?

I can go up and down stairs now, but I’m seven weeks out. My friend was going up and downstairs within a month. But her recovery was much quicker than mine, even though we had surgery at the same time. My knee was in terrible shape, one bone had worn a hole into the other.
At either five or six weeks, the PT had me going up and down a step which was difficult. I had to learn to have trust and faith in my surgery because I hadn’t been able to go downstairs properly in several years.
