I keep a printed list in my makeup case of everything we need to pack for a trip. My husbands list is on the left and mine is on the right. I copy and paste that list 3 more times on one sheet of paper. I tear off one strip to use that day and put the original sheet back into the case. I also have a hospital list to keep in 2 smaller bags since my hubby has to be admitted on short notice now and then. That way, he has what he needs and I have what I need to cover several days since we have no family to help out. He is deaf, so I have to stay with him the entire time - which can run into as much as 8 days. I have actually had to throw things together while waiting for the ambulance.
