Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Loni, I read that a few wks ago somewhere on the web. They even said there was a support group called " the spoon theory " . Anyway, I read it and made several copies. I gave one to my counselor, who passed on to other clients that deal w/chronic pain. Then I also gave it to a couple friends and my 4 sisters. What I deal with, what we all deal with here..........she got it and understood it. Not that she ever doubted me before. Now when I have to turn her down for lunch or something else, she will say, " I understand, you are out of spoons. " Yes, Sis today I am out of spoons. But please try me tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for sharing it with everyone. I think it is very well written and really is said in context that people will better understand. Love, Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks Lucy, Yes.. this theory even my husband can get a grasp on. It makes pain tangible. It even helped me come to terms with my pain levels. Helped me understand that I'm not 'just being lazy' when my pain levels are high. I'm so glad you enjoyed it also.
