Dan , Yes the spoon theory. It is an easier way for people to understand what Fibro is like. I feel like I have been spoonless since my trip to Florida, I haven't been able to get my pain lower than an 8... I can live with a 7, I just can't handle the 8's 9s, and a 10 well I wont say where my mind goes.
I am really sorry your wife has to suffer with this.
Thanks for reminding me about the spoons
