There is a couple of stairs in the garage that used to be easy to climb. Not anymore.
That´s where I fell the other day and although my pain has nothing to do with that, I know that I should have a rail there to hold on to, just in case.
There is a man who has all the abilities to do that. He made my fence higher after the burglars came to my house a couple of years ago.
He is coming tomorrow of the day after to see it all.
Stairs are difficult things nowadays

@marguicha For 2 steps only a simple iron bar is enough. I want to ask to my husband to add a handrail to the stairs going down to the garden from the main floor, we have 16 steps and I do not feel safe anymore.

This reminds me of my father's advice to have a room in the ground floor ready. It would serve me well to stay there when I have difficulty in climbing the stairs. Most of the seniors here are staying in the ground floor bedroom.

I know what you mean since when I used to work as a delivery driver, climbing stairs in some buildings was a challenge.

Good you're getting help. Don't hold back, ask for help. My healthcare provider has a product benefits for free, like bath rail I installed in my shower stall. As I got older, I hold on to things for sturdiness.

Those things are not given here. But I still think that we have a very good and inexpensive health care in my country.

Hopefully the rails he makes for you are good so you can hold on to them in the future!

I don't like stairs that don't have rails. I always like have something to hold on to.

You definitely need a handrail. I can't climb or descend stairs without one!
