Читать книгу Losing It - Jane Asher - Страница 17

Dear Stacey,

Hiya! Guess what!!! I finally gotta date!! So I’ll be going on to the other side soon after you read this – or maybe I’m even there already. I guess your British post takes forever, huh?

Anyway, pray for me, Stacey. I know you will, and I know the Lord is gonna take good care of me and I’ve got the cute little teddy you sent and he’s gonna go in there right alongside me and I’ve got my angels praying for me too, so it’s like – hey! – it’s all gonna be just cool. No – I am NOT gonna send you a picture – you’ll just have to wait until after, when I’m thin and gorgeous (and pigs will fly, huh?)

You remember I’d seen my PCP beginning September? Ooops, sorry, I forget you don’t call them that over there – you’d say your general doctor, I think. Is that right?? Anyway – you know what I mean. And – whaddaya know?? – I got a referral. So I saw the WLS guy early October – hey, maybe I told you all this, but I’m just so excited!! – look, here’s one of my real smiley faces to show you how happy I am – cute, or what, huh???? Anyways, I had real high BP so I had to have medication for that and then a pap smear and all kinds of stuff, and he told me to come back in a month, so I did and he was real pleased with me and said my BP was down and now I’VE GOT A DATE FOR THE OTHER SIDE!

I got my approval from the insurance real easy, too. Some people have all kinds of trouble, but when they heard my weight and my history and I told them who my surgeon was they were real sweet and I got approval right there and then over the phone. I feel kinda scared, too, but I just know everything’s gonna be fine. I was real surprised it was so easy, ’cos I’m not like their usual – well, it’s hard to explain, but let’s just say I’m a little different. And no – I’m not gonna tell ya ’cos I like my little mysteries!

Pray for me, Stacey, and I’ll pray the Lord will find a way to help you over to the other side too, sweetie.

Yours with the peace of the Angels to watch over you

Crystal
