"Downstairs doesn't make me feel 90 anymore"
Going down has always been worse than going up. First three steps after the kettle. Last flight with the shopping bags. I was going one at a time holding the rail. GP said wear and tear and that was that. This isn't a new knee. I put it on just under the kneecap before I come downstairs and the catch is quieter. I'm not clinging to the bannister like my mum. That's all I wanted.
