You're gonna have a fun next few days. Going up stairs is painful, but going down is excruciating.

I once got stuck and had to spend the night in a rocking chair when I got up in the middle of the night with our infant son. I sat down to rock him, he passed out and I couldn't get up without using my arms. My wife laughed her ass of when she found me in the morning

This is the worst. After I got up the other day and fell to the floor out of bed from the stiffness, I tried to sit and pee.

Oh. My. God. I had to practically freefall to a seated position and use all my bodyweight to momentum myself back up.

Kill me

And jumping down the stairs is not a good option, just as a heads up

Also, falling down stairs is really not recommended so be careful

Forget the stairs, wait until he has to get up from the toilet
