group,

i would ask that you hold me in prayer tomorrow from 7-12noon est. will be
undergoing nerve reattachment surgery for right pinky finger, under general
anaesthesia. it's the nerve for the outside edge, attached to a superficial
artery that also needs reattachment. the wound is 1.5 cm wide at main area
and 7mm deep - below pinky on right hand. it was caused by a broken drinking
glass that i was about to fill.

yesterday the plastic surgeon removed my pressure bandage and now i am in
much less pain. the wound really doesn't even hurt since it is very
symmetrical and straight. if all goes well then i should meet or exceed the
average 80% recovery of feeling. total cost now appears to exceed $5g. when
i said i would "work the list" in my last email, i meant the wait list of
reading requests, not this list. i just wanted to make sure that my
statement was not misunderstood or misconstrued in any way.

i definitely can see how this is telling me to finish the external so that
the internal can be duly prepared for ascension in peace and tranquility.

peace be with you -
