Mudknife-

Great news about the railings! Congratulations on your progress.

My most recent improvement would have to be on stairs as well. I was on a manufacturing plant tour a few days ago and we were going to begin on the third story. Each story was quite tall so we had something like 12 total flights of stairs to go up - led by someone in good shape who was obviously used to hiking up them every day.

I couldn't match his pace, but I kept up with the group and did it without ending up sucking wind at the end. It was nice to be able to hold a conversation normally instead of trying to hide signs of exhastion and shortness of breath.
