The Spoon Story
This makes perfect sense to me and explains how I feel on most days. I wanted to share The Spoon Story with family and friends. Some days I have 100 spoons and other days I am lucky to have 3 spoons. Anyone going through a "silent" disease will understand this.

Wow...I know we talk alot and you've told me a little about what you go through, but this really made it clearer for me. You are SO strong.
Thanks for sharing this with me. It is such a good way to explain how life is for us folks with illnesses that alter our lives, yet we don't appear to be sick. Good luck at MUSC.
Julie, I thought of you when I was reading this. I know that you know exactly what it is like since you have a "silent" disease too. It is hard to explain what it is like.
I also thought of other family members who suffer from diabetes. I know when my mom's sugar is up...she has a hard time concentrating and is fatigued too.
Barely 40 something mom of two little pumpkins who has Sjogrens Syndrome & facing a kidney transplant. I am not a doctor, I am just a patient going through this journey. This is my story I want to share in hopes of helping others.
*Every 90 minutes someone like you and me dies from needing a transplant. *Every 11 minutes a name is added to the transplant list. *Nearly 100,000 men, women, and CHILDREN currently await a life saving transplant. *In the U.S. more than 1 million tissue transplants are performed every year. *You can live a normal healthy life with one kidney. *You can donate part of your liver and live a normal healthy life. It regenerates! *You will forever change someone's life. You will let them spend more precious time with their children, grandchildren, and family and friends. *You will be a hero.
YOU have the Power to Donate LIFE, be an Organ and Tissue Donor.
