Hmmmm....that is pretty interesting. I already got a 7" step stool that I keep in the car when she decides her knees won't do their job and she needs the height up to the running board cut in half (suburban). I tried to interest them in a mini van, or something, before my Dad passed, but, as usual was met with, No. Standard answer for at least a while. Things may be getting closer.

This is the set up now.....

9 steps up, now covered with the stairlift.

Then 4 steps down to a landing and 1 more with a left turn.

I've put hand rails on the left and across the back, and she ALWAYS uses them. My thought so far is we can close off the door to the left and add one dead ahead, into a hall, for more stairlift.

I'm going to have to keep a close eye out for a couple weeks and see if the cane gives her more confidence. She says the stairs are a mental issue as well...."can I do this without my knees buckling"?

That looks quite sturdy, Kathy.

Good job.

Amazing Grace
(Click)
By John Newton

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
