Thanks everyone!
. It's really one of those things you don't think about but it makes a huge difference.
I can totally relate to "hauling" oneself up the stairs using the railing. I moved into this multiple story home at my highest weight and was thinking I'd have to move into a ranch-style home as I got a bit older (read:heavier). I'm not taking this for granted. I'm bounding up the stairs whenever I can simply because I can. No more queueing stuff up at the bottom of the stairs.
