I found this link posted on the Fibromyalgia website. It's about a woman explaining to her friend how she lives with lupus. Thus, her "Spoon Theory" was born. It's very interesting.
I read through this article and you're right, Ben, it is very interesting and I'm grateful you shared it. Now if I may share: My 24 year old son has been dating a wonderful 23 year old young woman for about 1 year. Well, Shannon has only known me as this positive, slim woman that I've become since my brain adjustment started in May 2011. After we first met, I spoke with Shannon a little about my brain injury. She floored me when she asked me if I liked myself better since she felt like her mom who is about my age was too stressed. Well, I thought about her question and replied that in a lot of ways, I did like myself better!
