I can see you have had marvellous help Yuri


Maybe one could start with, " I was desperate for the bathroom." Meaning "I was desperate to get to a bathroom."

ANd so you had all those obstacles in your way. Your explanation is very good and so are the replies you have received

another thought is :

"I tumbled down twice, and then I managed to touch the top of the stair steps. Except they had become a big vaulting box I had to clear. "

Yuri the above sentence is fine-- another way of mentioning the change to the stairs could also be: " I managed to climb or clamber UP THE STAIRS UNTIL I REACHED/ THE TOP/ EXCEPT/ suddenly they had changed/ or turned? into a vaulting box"

Just some alternatives but your other friends have done you proud.
