How can I make serving meals easier if I have multiple sclerosis (MS)?

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS), here's how you can make it easier to serve meals: Use Melamine or Corelle dishes; they are lighter weight and do not break as easily as china plates. You may also want to use paper plates to avoid cleanup. Dishes and flatware that contrast with the color of the tabletop will be easier to find for people with vision problems.

Some flatware comes with large, easy-to-grip handles in colorful and seasonal designs. Use a dish towel or hand towel on your lap instead of a napkin; they are bigger, more absorbent, and are less likely to fall on the floor. For a quickie apron for an adult (or child), fold a bath towel in half, put a string under the fold, and tie the string under the arms; it gives all-over double protection.

Cutting pizza into squares makes it easier than traditional triangles to handle and eat. Eliminate your sugar bowl altogether. To avoid spills and waste, fill a large kitchen salt shaker with sugar.

(Be sure to label it.) It's easier to handle and control the flow. Or, purchase an old-fashioned diner style sugar pourer at a secondhand or kitchen specialty shop. Reduce stress at mealtime by giving children some choices.

When serving new foods, ask if they want the "new stuff" in one mountain or two. Do they want the sandwiches cut in halves or in quarters? Do they want to try the vegetable now or before their bedtime snack?

Use a muffin pan to hold condiments such as mustard, ketchup, relish, and onions; you won't have to pass around a lot of jars.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
