Why spoons? Well, a few months into my recovery and after seeing a few different doctors about my vision. One doctor in Ontario told me to check out this “Spoon Theory” as he could tell my biggest struggle would be reserving my new very limited energy and accepting the slowness this recovery could need.

What is the Spoon Theory?
Spoon Theory is originally a theory for chronic illness, but I think it’s important for us all to understand and use.
"Spoons" are a visual representation used as a unit of measure to quantify how much energy a person has throughout a given day. Each activity (and person) requires a given number of spoons, which will only be replaced as the person "recharges" through rest. A person who runs out of spoons has no choice but to rest until their spoons are replenished."

I took the Spoon Theory to the next level and now “I Make spoons to give me spoons” and it’s time to share them with others.
