How should I arrange my living room if I have multiple sclerosis (MS)?

Here are some ways to arrange your living room if you have multiple sclerosis (MS): Place a clear plastic chair protector on your upholstered dining room chairs and gain several advantages -- prevent spills from staining fabric and make it easier to change position and slide on and off the chair seat. Use sturdy and stable furniture. Generally, the best type of chair has a relatively straight back, a firm shallow seat, and an armrest for added support.

Avoid low, overstuffed sofas and chairs that make sitting and standing more difficult. To make it easier to get up from a chair or sofa, furniture should be approximately 17 inches off the ground; adjust the height of your furniture by adding or removing casters or putting measured blocks of wood under each leg until the desired height is achieved. It is easier to get out of a chair by scooting forward to the edge of the seat, spreading your feet apart, and rocking back and forth to build up momentum.

Remove rugs. Walking or wheeling on vinyl, ceramic, or wood floors is easier than walking or wheeling on thick carpet. (Vinyl, ceramic, or wood floors may be slippery when wet.) If you install carpet, choose a flat, tightly woven, or tight-loop style, not a plush or sculptured style, which makes walking or wheeling difficult.

Use a high-density or commercial pad under the carpet.

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.
