She Could Take the Stairs Again

She had to take the stairs one step at a time.

Slowly.

Carefully.

Holding on.

Making sure she didn’t lose her balance.

Walking wasn’t easy either.

Carrying things made it worse.

The diagnosis?

Osteoarthritis.

She wasn’t ready to stop.

Not her work.

Not her routine.

So she tried something different.

Months later…

it changed.

The pain was almost gone.

And she could walk the stairs again.

Normally.

That made all the difference.
