The ramp is up!  I have walked up and down with my walker to test my ability to safely go from house to kennel to office and back on my own two feet.  The walking test was a perfect success.  Going downhill is much more scary for me because my knees give out and going up is hard because I have trouble thrusting my hip forward for a step but when you compare those risks against the frequent falling down those steep steps…this is nothing to worry about.

My son took my chair up first to see if my left hand would hold up for me.  I have never been on such an incline so this was my first challenge.  He said he thought my hand would hold up so here we go…

The sun goes down and the guys are done for the day.  Josh installs a porch light on the outside wall of my bedroom to light the ramp for safety.  The next day everyone is coming over to finish things up.  Please see Handicap access ramp is completed.
