I wonder if I function executively down the stairs? ๐Ÿค” I hope I do, it sounds fancy ๐Ÿ˜œ

The only place I routinely encounter stairs recently is the hospital, when I go in for an appointment. A while back, coming down the stairs, I decided my feet were too big for the steps. I do have biggish feet, size 11 1/2 in Freedom Units, but I've never had any issues with stairs before this. Suddenly, looking down at my feet, I decided I needed to twist my feet sideways on the steps to get a good purchase and not fall over, face-first, down the steps. I do wear glasses, but nothing is new about that. I have no idea what happened that day, that made me fear going down the steps.

I have since navigated those same steps, both up and down, without problems. I do, however, avoid looking down at my feet.

@NickEast_IndieWriter @DarrinBrunner To be fair, old people's bones tend to be more brittle, thus a fear of heights and a reduced willingness to take risks made for longer living before the advent of modern medecine and health & safety inspections of diving boards.
Still, I want to play Tony Hawks' Pro Skater Gramps Edition where you can hear the knee joints creak.
