My ankle is ... better than it was three months ago when I tripped over the kerb in Te Papa's carpark. But ... I still have trouble getting down steps.
I'm leaping up those steps like a demented mountain goat. I would most definitely pass the hospital's criteria (loosely interpreted) of "we probably won't give you an operation unless you can walk up 40 steps without collapsing". But I come down steps with a slow sideways crab-like motion that hurts like hell. And it so annoys me that I have to place both feet on every step before I can progress further.
I crave to be that demented mountain goat as I leap down the steps, as well as going up them. I'm practising on outside steps around the Miramar area. So, if any of my four readers see a fixated senior working her way agonisingly (and cursing with it - bugger!), up and down the same steps over and over, well, it's just me. Have pity.
above: by public vote the "Bugger!" tv advert has just been deemed the no 1 favourite advert over the past ten years.
