This is my post for #freewriters Wednesday prompt giving away power hosted by @mariannewest

I knew that one day I would have to stop driving and stop fishing, but I thought it would be much later in my life. I have always been healthy and now to have all of this going on has really floored me.

For the most part, I feel fine. I even feel fine when I am having what I call an attack. The doctors want to run tests. I am scheduled for an EEG, MRA, Ultrasound and I have to wear a device for 2 weeks that monitors my heart. I hope I get answers. I have already had an EKG, an MRI of my neck, and an MRI of my brain. On top of all of this, the clinic wants to run a series of blood tests I guess people are supposed to have these done once a year, I can not remember the last time I had it done, if ever.

The hardest thing for me to handle is losing my independence, I feel as if I am giving away power that I am no longer who I was. I have been commercial fishing my own boat for over 35 years and now I do not have any say on what time I leave the house, where I will fish, how long I will stay in one spot, or when it is time to go home. I feel I have lost a big part of me.

I am not giving up, I know that I will get answers and that I will get my life back to normal. I will not accept any other outcome.
