Utica College
Happiness is found in her craft room, making beautiful quilts to share with her loved ones, a handmade
quilt can always be found on the comfy couches around her home. Couponing is another one of her
hobbies but, she sometimes runs into problems with fatigue during lengthy grocery shopping trips. In
living by the spoon theory she is generally able to prioritize and complete her most important daily
activities without over exerting herself (see attached for more information on the spoon theory).
TC makes accommodations when traveling to California to visit her many family members and friends.
She has found that wearing a sun hat and protective clothing washed with an additive sunscreen element
gives her the best protection from the harsh effects of sun exposure. In addition, she uses larger pens, craft
tools and occasionally wears wrist braces to aid the intense inflammation and pain in her hands. As well
as a loving wife and mother, TC is also a caring grandmother who enjoys spending time with her
grandson. She has found napping ahead of time serves as a beneficial energy conservation technique to
get the most out of her time with him.
Her work environment gives her a certain amount of freedom to structure her day as she sees fit allowing
for a successful work performance at this time. Monday, the day after she comes home from her 2 day
work shift is her recovery day she says. The internal battle of whether or not to tell her employer about
her condition is on her mind. On one hand she does not want to be treated differently, but on the other she
would like her supervisor to understand that she has embraced her limits at work and simply cannot
surpass them while remaining healthy at the same time. Her supervisor makes her feel like she is not a
dedicated team player since she is unable to pick up overtime when asked. At this time her husband is
supportive in bringing and picking her up from work when she needs it due to decreased vision and
anxiety especially when driving at night and in the snow. While at work she does not have a choice but to
drive even when she does not feel well, it is dark and/or snowy. She does have a level of understanding
and comfort in her supportive coworkers that are aware of her condition at this time.
