PN + stairs Help!!

Posted by januaryjane @januaryjane, Apr 8, 2025

I took a pretty good fall down four stairs in February but it had been awhile since I had a slip.
I do have railings and use them, but am finding myself having more close calls lately.
Sometimes I'm rushing, which I know I know. Other times I gage where I am at the step wrong, get off balance or do not feel the fall coming at all, I think because loss of sensation.
Any tips/advice for taking the stairs when I can't avoid it?? THANKS !
