It has been one of those weeks where you have so many deadlines and so few spoons. So instead of a full episode like normal, you get to enjoy our funniest highlights from our first season (with one never before heard bonus story). Don't worry, we have a few more episodes coming in season 1 still, but until I get episode 7 up, this should hold you over.

We are Fresh Out of Spoons, a group of friends talking about the daily lives and trials of living with chronic illness and disability. Our goal with FOOS is to create a safe space for candid (and entertaining!) conversation and education about the good, the bad, and the ugly of life with chronic illness.

We want to first off apologize for the disaster that is our audio in this episode. Sarah's dogs were going crazy, Emilie's mic just stopped working, Jess recorded the group phone call audio in her track, Sarah's had to record partially through her computer mic instead of her podcast mic, and Bree forgot to press record. With all of these issues, we really should have just rerecorded, but ain't nobody got spoons for that. Slight trigger warning for Eating Disorders and Body Image at about 13 minutes in.

Join us to discuss the worst medical experience in our fun Medical Horror Stories segment. Later, play along at home in our Disability History Trivia game. This is a TRIGGER WARNING for the Disability History Game: the history of disabled people is long, sad, and disturbing, however, we, as disabled people, believe it is important to learn our history of mistreatment so that we better fight for disability rights and equity. 

Questions 3 (1:11:40) and 8 (1:21:20) contain disturbing information that may be triggering to anyone, though particularly those who have a history of sexual trauma. We advise you to skip those questions if you feel like they might be upsetting to you. As always, stay safe, and if you are feeling upset, please stop listening and contact a trusted friend or medical professional.
