Default Accommodations

What accommodations have you had to make in your life specifically because of MS?

I buy smaller containers of liquid laundry detergent. I just can't lift or handle the larger containers.....even though they might be more cost effective the savings just isn't worth it to me any more. I buy smaller containers of just about everything now. It's just me so I don't need the giant economy size anymore.

I buy pre-chopped onions and other veggies. I've had too many close calls with the knife while chopping things. If it's available pre-chopped then I buy it.

I have a tool that helps me open pop-top cans. The canned cat food I buy has pop-top cans and there are days when I just don't have enough strength in my hands to pull them open. This tool helps with that and also helps to open 2-liter bottles and also soda cans. The can opener that comes with it is also great and easy to use. http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/v...-Parrot-Opener

Pre-cooked hard boiled eggs. Sometimes while peeling the hard cooked egg they slip out of my hand and down the garbage disposal they go. The feeling and sensitivity in my hands - especially my right one - is nearly gone and I have a hard time holding onto things.

Healthy Choice frozen entrees. These are good and easy to prepare. No oven needed.....just a microwave. I miss home cooking but these are easier and safer for me to prepare and most times healthier than what I might fix myself.

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can come up with right now. What are some of the things you've had to change?
