Stairs Stairs Stairs

Total number of falls since Tuesday: 5

Total number of near misses since Tuesday: Infinite

I have mostly changed my attitude about this whole foot thing. I prayed a lot about it and I honestly don't feel that bad. I got the job which is a huge relief and the pain is kept at bay by a plethora of highly skilled pain meds and mostly I am optimistic about life and feet related issues. The stairs in Chicago threaten to undue all of this.

I HATE STAIRS! Crawling up them is degrading. Sliding down them on my butt means dirty clothes and letting the taxi driver gawk at my underwear. Hobbling down them on crutches caused fall #1 and 4. Waiting for Matt to carry me up and down is not practical and not fair to Matt. THERE IS NO WAY TO WIN! Mostly, I would like to hire someone to carry me up and down stairs... and drive my car... and hold me upright in the shower... and do my dishes, though that is not foot specific.

If you would like to be considered for the job, please submit resume/the amount you can bench.
