It's good that you write about it so eloquently. I think the spoons analogy is useful for people who can't grasp it, and for those that won't try, I hope they never have to deal with it.
On my good days, I think about going back to work. On my bad days I wonder how I would manage it, even part time.
My big wish is that people would stop seeing pain as emotional or a sign of weakness. I'm not a martyr, but I don't need to be a saint, either.
