A few years back, Kay found a blog by a woman with a different chronic illness, yet her thoughts cover us too. She calls it the spoon theory. We now use it all the time at home. Often I ask my wife if she has enough spoons to do ‘X’. It has helped us communicat better about her illness in a way we can both understand. Read it with your chronic person in your life.
