I discovered that I can move around my house with no help from the 1/2 walker or a cane, as long as the floors are level with each other and steps are not involved.
I made it up and down 5 steps of the way to the 2nd floor of my house. That is 1/3 of the way to the 2nd floor.
The running & walking experiences of an 86 year old man. I used to run and walk alone, but now I walk with my wife, although I sometimes go walking alone. My overall goal is to reach age 100 and still be walking for my long and medium walks. I enjoy my walks, especially those with my wife, although I miss going long distance.

I'm home but am still learning to walk
I came home a few days before Christmas, but I'm still learning how to walk. I have 1/2 of a walker, which I use with my good (unharmed) arm; the 1/2 walker still has four legs, but no wheels, and I'm starting to learn how to use a cane. The cane gives less balance than the 1/2 walker, since the cane has just one leg. I'm doing pretty good with level ground but have problems with steps.
