Since breaking my ankle, I’ve been spending most of my time in a large room that was built by the previous owners of our house above the garage. The only problem with this plan is that there was no railing at the landing at the top of the stairs from the ground floor to this room. As well, there was no railing along the short flight of stairs from the main level of the house down to the bathroom.

Today our friend Frank installed some new railings, which have immediately made it easier for me to get down to the main floor or the bathroom. I’m continuing to hang out most of the time in the one large room but now when I do need to tackle the stairs it is a much safer adventure.

On Monday morning I go back to see the doctor. Hopefully this injury is on track for healing. I’m trying to be a patient patient, but no two ways about it the restricted mobility is no picnic.
