I just wanna stop and take the time to thank thewritegrump for teaching me what spoons were.
Soon after I was taught one of my closest friends started severely going through health problems and went by the spoon system. She is now successfully diagnosed with stage 3 Lyme disease (after about 6 years of doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with her) and is fighting it the best she can. Knowing about spoons helps me to understand what she can and can’t do and if she needs me to do things for her when we are together.
Oh, wow, I’m really, REALLY glad that I helped! ;;;u;;;
That’s what spoons are for- it’s helped me explain chronic illness to people who otherwise couldn’t quite grasp it- especially “inivisble” illnesses.
I’m so glad that knowing about spoons has helped you better assist your friend! You’re absolutely wonderful, and it’s such a relief to know there’s people like you who are here and are for people like me and your friend.
