It sounds like your husband is a keeper Marjory!!!!! It would crack me up to

see my Jim trying to type. I see a look of horror come up in his eyes if I

mention anything to him about writing one. LOL LOL LOL

Hi Sheri, You are not alone in the fretting department I have been

fretting all week because my old PCP sent my records of weight loss

to the wrong address after I told them how important it was to me and

gave my new address. My husband has been trying to tell me: don't

worry be happy. Sounds familiar doesn't it. He is so good after

he

wrote my support letter he insisted on typing it himself even though

he uses the one finger method. It took him 2 hours to write it. In

the letter he wrote, he has this one sentence that I pleaded with him

to take out but he refused. " We are both mature enough to realize

that she will not suddenly turn into a fashion model, but if she has

the opportunity to shed some real weight, she can at least feel like

one " . I told him I would never feel like a fashion model, but he said

it's just a hyperbole. I said I don't need any hyperbole in my

letter, but he said too bad it's my letter. I hope Dr. R has a good

sense of humor.

I think we want this so bad that we all get a little compulsive about

it; I have never spent so much time on the computer since we owned

one. I think I have read every word on clos net and every post on

here for months. I am looking forward to getting my approval from Dr

Rutledge and then I think I should go on a vacation for awhile to

chill while I wait for my very important date.

Keep the posts coming they are great! Margie I am looking

forward to yours since you are a good writer. How is your mother now

that it is all over? Sara your almost there I know it will be great.

your contact letter was awesome, thank you so much.

Love too all.

Hi Marjory,

Sounds like your hubby is saying that you will feel so much better about

yourself after surgery. True, isn't it? I think it is sweet--don't worry!
