Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 : I was able to handle stairs with crutches upon release from Lexington Medical Center. The Physical Therapy folks knew I had a few stairs at home so they checked me out on stairs at the hospital the morning of my release. I was pretty tired so I wouldn't have wanted to go up and down them several times a day but once or twice was tolerable.
