Human Limitations and This Week...
Happy Easter! HE has RISEN!

The prayers worked! Thank you! I didn't have leg pain like I normally do after chemo. Praise God! I did have foot discomfort though for two days. It felt like I was walking on rocks. I'm thinking that has more to do with the neuropathy than from the chemo. I also felt kind of dizzy for about 3 days. So I just laid low and read a book.

I'm going to be real with you for a bit. I felt frustrated this week. Human limitations were at play and have been for awhile but this week it left me feeling frustrated. I get very tired doing anything. Getting ready for the day tires me out and makes me have to rest for about 20 - 30 minutes before I can do anything else. Any time I exert any energy doing anything requires me to sit down and take a break after. I know that it is what it is, but I don't get as much done as I would like. Devin always reminds me that my only job right now is to rest and heal but I still like to help out around the house when I can.

I didn't have any appointments this week which was a nice break. Next week is jam packed!

Prayers:
  1. That I will not get anxious about getting my port next Friday.
  2. That I will recognize that the human limitations I am having are only temporary.
  3. That Devin will continue to not have stomach pains. He seems to be doing well with the new supplements.

    Devin is 1000% right about your job right now is to rest and heal. It's so hard to rest, but when it's frustrating, remember that God rested, too! And the Bible says he grants sleep to those He loves...so maybe you can soak in God's love for you next time you are tired against your will. I love you so much - and it's sooo good to hear an overall good report. God's grace is abundant and beautiful on you, Lori! xoxo

    I understand your frustrations. Navigating with a pair of crutches and a hip brace after surgery left me unable to do nearly everything. I was used to doing everything in the house, so that was a hard reality for me and I just had to accept my limitations, knowing that it was just "for a time". The simplest of activities (taking a shower, drying my hair, getting dressed, etc) took a lot of effort on my part. Do what you need to do and don't worry about the rest. Take one day, one moment, at a time and give your body the time it needs to heal.

Meet Lori Atkinson | Back 2 Nature 4 Health

 

I am a country girl, turned city girl, turned suburban girl! My family and I have settled in the pines of a quiet suburban neighborhood after living in the city for the last 12 years. We purchased our dream home and are slowly making it ours. Most days you will find me hanging out with my very gifted and talented daughter, helping to run multiple family businesses, hanging in the yard with our rambunctious dogs, or hanging poolside with my husband. My favorite hobbies are researching healthy living and nutrition, spending time outdoors, drinking hot beverages, lounging in the sun, reading, watching tv/movies and crocheting. 


Eight years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was involved in a serious car accident. I was left with pain that started in my chest, went down my arm and into my hand. In the days that turned into months after this accident the pain left me wiped out both mentally, physically and turned me into an emotional wreck. I felt hopeless, like I was spiraling out of control and I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.


One day, I was introduced to a product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I was skeptical that it would help. To be honest, I’d used a similar product in the past with no relief. Why would this time be any different?


So this time I did my research before purchasing. In fact I spent days researching all the options and companies out there that offered this product or something similar. In the end I landed on a company that was set apart from its competitors. They were different in so many great ways. I was desperate for a solution so I ordered.


Now, my life and my families lives are dramatically different. I used to have to put on my game face and press through the day all the while I felt like I was dying inside. Not anymore!


Now, I’m fearless. And I’m on a mission to help a whole lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself and my family. Because I believe that, "Once You Know Better, You Will Do Better!”


How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and you wound up feeling as bad--if not worse--than when you started?


It's time to get off the wheel and finally start experiencing your best life.
