Note:
Hyun Jin Nim and True Mother wanted Justin Harding to follow them on the tour. They loved his testimony so much. But he can't go where he pleases. Also the operation was scheduled and he needed to prepare for that. He said the testimony he gave True Mother was spontaneous he didn't know if he could say it more than once.

Wolfgang,

I will also have two rods and four screws placed along the spine to reinforce the fusion. The whole recovery is about 3 to 4 months is all goes well.

I was blown up by an IED (improvised explosive device) in January of 2005 during the first elections or "Purple Revolution" and should have been medevaced out at that time but, chose to finish out my tour as we only had six weeks left.

Afterwards I tried physical therapy, chiropractic, steroid injections, massages, and have tried every pill known to man.

Finally will have it done.

I am very nervous about the surgery.

Dr. Wanebo (Wha Nah Bo) is very good. He told me he doesn't receive a dime more or less if he does it - his goal to release the pain from that area of my back.

I am good about it just: well scared and nervous. I thank you ahead of time for any prayers!

Mansay

Mansay brothers and sisters!

Have been out of the hospital for a couple of days now and "feel" good.

Always better to be surrounded by your family versus men and women in white lab coats with empirical motivations made manifest in 100s of questions the last guy in a white coat just asked.

I met a very nice Marine Chaplain - I told him "I was just an average Jarhead, don't worry about me Sir!“

He suddenly left the room because he lost his bearing and muttered son your are not average and walked away.

Pastor Frank and Suyapa stopped by - it was then I made the determination to bolt out of the hospital too many people taking time out of their schedules to stop by and visit with me.

I told the Medical Officer all the correct things he needed to hear from me to allow release - this was done after quizzing his assistants the night prior on what they thought grounds for release were.

And after Yuriko and Suyapa visited the big Medical Officer gave me the thumbs up to Dee Dee Maw back home!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers.

The operation was slated for 3 hours but went for 6 and till this day no one will explain why: a real "Cain" type of guy dealing with my anaesthetist told me I was paralyzed for a while but, no one else can remember him and I have been told that perhaps I was "dreaming him" up.

I am grateful to be home!

Thank You for your prayers!

And in a few weeks should be up and a bout!

Mansay with deepest gratitude,

Justin
