My sister is a physical therapist and taught me "Good legs go to heaven, bad legs go to ..." So when I go up the stairs, the good leg goes first, then the broken leg and crutch come up to meet it on the same step. Keep repeating until you're at the top, like a toddler. To go down, keep the broken leg straight and it and the crutch go first, and the right leg does the major bending to join them on that step.

It makes sense because after 7 weeks my left leg isn't strong enough to hold all my weight, especially while bent. So it gets to stay straight as I navigate stairs.
