This is my post for #freewriters 2673 prompt that sinking feeling hosted by @mariannewest
The vascular doctor's office called today with the ultrasound results they performed yesterday. I expected them to tell me they found nothing but was surprised when she said I have a blockage in, I think she said my clerical artery but I think that is wrong, I know it was not the carotid artery. I tried to Google the arteries in our body and it had to be one of these two words that she said. The coronary or the subclavian arteries, neither sound like clerical, this is why I wish someone would go with me.
She then told me we needed to set up an appointment to go over the rate for doing the procedure, this is when I got that sinking feeling. All I have for insurance is Medicaid and Medicare, he does not take Medicaid and I am sure Medicare will not pay what he wants.
My husband has not been fishing for the last two months the fish he catches are south of us and will not come back this way until the river water reaches above 60 degrees, they will not bite with it under 65. We have been living off of what we get from Social Secruity so this is the worst time for me to have something like this done.
I guess this doctor is not like the doctor who said he would operate on my hand for what Medicare would pay. I do not know what I am going to do but until some fish show up, I know I can not have anything done.
My husband said he needed to run his motor on his boat and he wanted fish for supper so he put his boat in up the creek and caught enough mullet for our supper.

Wow, such a heart-rending story. I wish you well and do hope you have the resources to get the treatment you need.
I did not intend for it to be heart-rending, but life is not always good. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
Uffda. I hope this works out ok. I have had to call places back to get the exact words they use because my knowledge of anatomy and medical terms is limited.
Our local hospital used to have a program to help people like me but it was recently purchased by Cleveland Clinic so I do not know if it is still available. I will call them to see if they can help me find a doctor.
have a lovely weekend 💞 !LUV
