Hi. I’m lengthening tibia with 2 bulky ilizarov apparatus. Usually I climb stairs with the aid from 2 people that take me from the armpits.
Sometimes I don’t have 2 strong people to help and i’d want to learn to climb stairs sit down, with my butt.
My main problem is to transfer from the weelchair to the stairs. I can easily sit down on a chair, but the stairs are far away and I feel like I’m falling down.
Any suggestion?

You can't try to do it with crutches?
I think it's best you avoid stairs until you can handle it...
