Guys, I've got a couple of 2 step stools...have used them from time to time. I just thought the 6' step ladder would give me more bracing. Most of my balance problem is due to the nerve damage on the bottom of my feet...the diabetes caused neuropathy. Hard to explain unless you have the problem. Seems much of your balance comes from the feeling you get from the bottom of your feet & toes. I'm missing much of that. Now balance visually. Well, like I said, hard to explain...
Let's just say I'd probably flunk the police roadside physical drunk tests...the walking a front line, heel to toe...and the eyes closed stuff...although I quit booze after the diabetic diagnosis...haven't touched a drop in decades. No need for booze for me to have that balance while looking up problem.
Hey...my plan worked well. The light bulb has been changed! Another small challenge taken on and conquered.
(edit) Next up, in the interest of not letting the old man in, not getting older...thinking of cruising around the local high school in my Mustang, see if any cheerleaders want a ride.
