How should I prepare for vacation if I have multiple sclerosis (MS)?

If you have multiple sclerosis (MS), here's a no-hassle way to get ready for family trips and vacations. Make three lists: All the obvious -- clothing, accessories, toiletries, etc. -- and the not so obvious -- trip information (maps, itinerary, passport), address book, stamps for postcards, laundry bag (for dirty clothes), extra canvas bag (for purchases), and "fun stuff" (games, reading material, sporting equipment). Chores that may be done a few days before you leave.

Get substitute drivers for carpools. Cancel lessons. Find someone to mow the lawn or shovel the snow.

Arrange for newspaper and mail pick-up. Leave a key and itinerary (with phone numbers) with neighbors. For car trips, add: Check air in the tires, including the spare.

Purchase snack foods for the cooler. Put selected tools in the trunk in case of an emergency. Things you do immediately before you leave.

Set timer lights. Turn down thermostat and hot water heater. Grind anything left in the garbage disposal and take out the garbage.

Check to see that electric blankets, curling iron, stove, oven, and coffee maker are turned off. And, finally,check to see that all the doors and windows are locked.

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.
