Steps

[poliphilo]

My mother is having increasing difficulty negotiating steps. I don't think it's entirely physical- though it's that as well; I think it's that she's lost the unconscious motor skill and is having to think about how to do it- and when she thinks she panics and totters. Ailz suggests we stop eating in the kitchen where the steps are most challenging

The downstairs at my MiL's place was all on one level so it wasn't too much of an issue once we'd had a stair lift fitted but this sounds awful familiar.:o(

This is a 19th century house with bits added on- and wherever there are additions there are steps; it's mad.
