Today’s lesson is “Up with the good, down with the bad.”  I learned that from the therapist that visited yesterday to check the house for walker and handicapped accessibility.  That’s the phrase to remember when walking up or down steps–“Up with the good, down with the bad.”  Lead with the good leg if you’re going UP stairs, lead with the bad leg if you’re going DOWN stairs.  There’s less bending when descending and more when ascending, so it’s less painful doing it this way. 

I posted this mainly to help me remember it.  You know, with my CRS and all… That explains “The Good and The Bad” in the title, but why “The Ugly” you ask?  Well, that just reminds me that I need to catch up on a few good classic movies during my sick time at home… Some classic Duke and Clint is definitely on the menu!
