Let me see - recent back operation - goes down stairs on butt.

Yep, sounds pretty good to me! :)

Hey, glad you are ok man. Take care of yourself and don't do anything
stupid like I would/did/have done/will do again.

Thanks Tom. Going down the stairs on my butt (lifting, then letting myself
down on the lower step using my arms and good leg) is actually the
recommended way of getting down stairs after back surgery as it eliminates
the chances of falling. To go up I just push myself up, step by step, with
my good leg.
