How many of you make a checklist before leaving the house each day? What is on that checklist that relates to your illness? #cronichillness #chron

As my husband was leaving this morning, I realized that we have set up a mental checklist to make sure we don't forget anything when we leave the house: keys, meds, etc. Part of that checklist involves him asking what I want people to know about me today. For example, if people ask where I am when I am not there, what is he allowed to disclose about my illness today. If I am there, what signals will we use if I am starting to feel exhausted or am getting a migraine and need to leave. If you make a checklist, what is something on your checklist each day that relates to your illness?
