Barry,

 BM> When I was healing from the fractured femur several years ago I was
 BM> lucky enough to have two walkers: one stayed up here on the second
 BM> floor and the other on the first, plus for the occasional outside
 BM> meanderings. Walked up and down the stairs holding on to the bannister
 BM> and using a cane

  There is a bit of a step getting on to the front porch, and into the
house, but otherwise, everything is basically "level". There are steps
going out the living room to the backyard, but for most of the time, that
door stays closed and locked.

 BM> Before being released from the hospital they did have to teach me to go
 BM> up and down stairs with the folded-up walker as support (like a cane),
 BM> along with holding on the the bannister.  First reaction after they
 BM> told me to use the walker as support on the stairs was effectively "are
 BM> you crazy? It has wheels!".

  Sounds like Friday night racing at the Old Folks Home. Two older men are
racing each other, and as they approach the finish line, one lets out this
huge fart, giving him "air poo-pulsion" to victory. :P
