Maybe you don't understand what I mean. I have wanted to talk about the spoon theory for some time now. I thought I would post the link to Christine Miserandino's page that has the spoon theory story. I have talked about this kind of thing many times, but her spoon story really helps capture the image that I have been looking for. It means more since JG's sister has Lupus. Check it out, but be prepared. Don't read it unless you really want to know what having CF (or some other Chronic Illness) is like, and have a box of tissue ready:
The Spoon Theory
There is one difference that people with CF have. She talks about when she was diagnosed and suddenly had to think about things she never thought of. With CF we are taught at a young age that we need to think about these things. We have a limited number of spoons from the beginning.

I read the story and I just think it is amazing. I will give you my spoons :)
Brad and I often refer to "spoons." He'll come home from work and ask if I have any spoons left or if he should just pick up dinner.
That story really hits home for us, doesn't it?
Hope you're well .
