Our prayers go up but sometimes we wrongly deem them as unnoticed. On the other hand, there are times in our life when our hope spirals out of control as we allow fickle, negative feelings to take root. We feel we can confidently stretch and strut over God’s good blessings. It’s ironic to me just how symbolic this is of the Christian walk.Ĭhicken wings are like those beautiful moments in life where things feel on track. It feels freeing and refreshing! And not so constrained.Ĭhicken wings aren’t in my care plan just yet though-therefore T-Rex arms it is. There’s a reason God allows chicken wing movements.
TREX ARMS FOR CHICKENS FULL
Especially after a full night’s sleep in that position. They also leave you feeling stiff and sore from the waist up. So I’ve kept T-Rex arms in mind as I’ve went about my days… did you know you can actually sweep the house using T-Rex arms? Me neither but I learned that!! Upon showing and explaining this to my husband to help get the point across of the importance the two of them then concluded that “ I need to be using T-Rex arms!!” My doctor, and he’s hilarious, demonstrated how I should keep my arm movements within a limited range. I’m gonna give you a quick visual and you can thank me later for the image and laugh! …One of my most important restrictions is that I’m supposed to keep my arms tucked close to my body, no reaching out to the sides.

I’m ready to lift some weights again, get back over to the nursing home to do hair, and take advantage (with a bike ride) of these 70 degree days we’re enjoying here in Nebraska currently.īut with my doctor’s orders (ten pound weight and range of motion restrictions) in place and his timeline in respect-the time is not yet. “ Exactly!!” …couldn’t have said it better myself.Īnd her words are spot on. Appointments and treatment plans have moved along quickly and I’m now on the other side of surgery.Ī friend asked me recently how I was feeling and I explained, “ I’m ready to be past surgery limitations and be on the go but my body is so achy from some doctor restrictions that are in place…” After I finished my usual, overextended words she quickly drew up her own simple words, “ so you’re feeling like you’re energy is back, but your strength isn’t?!” The beginning of September I was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. God is still providing teachable moments in this and I feel like it’s not for me to keep for (only) my own growth in faith.įor those who are reading this and missed my post a few weeks ago, I’ll do a quick update. I’m a week and a half past surgery and as much as I want to move beyond writing or sharing about this chapter in my life, I’m not able to just yet because it’s not quite over.
