Spoonie

 The Spoon Theory traces back to Christine Miserandino.  It is a metaphor explaining how a chronic illness can impact a person's capacity to perform everyday tasks.  My sister, who has lived with Lupus for decades, shared this with me a long time ago.  As a health care provider, it made perfect sense and I have shared it with others struggling to balance illness and living.  I have never had to use the theory myself, until now.  Without measuring and saving my spoons, I would not have these pictures from the weekend: )
