A member asked:
I have a bad knee from a falling injury about 6 years ago. it only hurts when humidity high. can i move into a home with stairs or is this unwise?

Avoid stairs: If you have already having difficulties with your knee from the previous injury, stairs may pose a bigger and bigger challenge in coming years. Would recommend a single level home to avoid needing to go up and down stairs on a regular basis.
