Walking Up or Down Stairs: Balance and Coordination

Here are some photos from 2012 where I was climbing up and down stairs. It can, at times be difficult to walk up and down stairs. It can be difficult due to the balance and coordination lack that a side loss, such as mine is on the left. Most of my years; this has not been an issue. I understand to go in the back of the group and go at my own pace to make it happen. I also know to go watch my feet going up and down stairs.
I have sometimes lost my balance and coordination. I tend to grab onto someone at that point or the post railing.
I also tend to be a bit stubburn and not use help until the last second. I believe this has to do with my need for help for a variety of things throughout my life. Therefore; if I do not need the help I will not ask until the end.
