Do You Ever 'Forget' How To Walk Down Stairs?
I'm trying to ascertain whether or not something's wrong with me. At least a couple of times a week, I have to physically stop when I'm going down stairs and think about what my next step should be. I asked my wife if she did this as well, and she just called me an idiot and laughed, but I'm willing to bet that others do this as well (the forgetting how to walk down stairs bit).
So? |

If it's dark, I usually think I'm at the bottom when I'm not. It's a weird feeling to take a step forward and your foot goes lower than you think it should. It has almost tripped me up a few times.

Do you do any other "mental math" things in your normal life? I used to walk a lot to get places. I would take addresses and add the digits together to see if the original number is divisible by 3.

Oh and there are 18 steps to get up to my floor at my apartment building. I know you weren't talking to me, but that's never stopped me from putting my two cents in before. Hope you don't mind. |

i feel the same way, but is it because my ankles and knees don't want to work first thin in the morning... Old age is a bitch.....

I don't have problems with stairs.
But, sometimes I stand in front of a door for several minutes before I remember how to open it. Does this happen to you, Mr. Donger? FAX |

Not even the tendonitis in my knees causes me to have to pause and think about the stairs.
Maybe your legs are revolting from all the years of not being washed? |

I have done that alot on stairs, but it is related to my balance being somewhat off since I had brain surgery, have you considered you may have too much on your mind and are simply too involved in thinking about this or dealing with it and it just gets in the way of normal acts?
It happens...

The responses so far do not fill me with encouragement.
