I Hit The Wall

In May I have an appointment with my orthopedic oncologist at MD Anderson. The xrays of my leg showed a loose screw out of place. I am not sure where it is and I don't feel anything rattling around in my leg. Hopefully I wont have to have a procedure because I am tired of them.
I have a blood panel, xrays & CT scan and see my sarcoma doctor, Dr. Benjamin.

I have gone out once this week. Today I went to the grocery store to purchase stuff for mom and some food. It took about 40 minutes. Mom's aide helped me carry things inside and put away Mom's supplies. I put a few things in the frig and then I felt as though I had hit the wall. You know the wall that runners hit when their body says there is no more free energy.

Somewhat in a sweat and feeling edgy, I grabbed a cold water bottle and lay down. I fell asleep for over an hour.

I have been wondering if my lack of energy was in my head or physical.

Not knowing if and how I will restart chemo makes imagining the future hard and now this leg thing.

Oh well, I will try to get out again and see how that goes.
