【I suddenly collapsed 17 years ago and went through with many surgeries】
by Yoshimaru Higa in his blog in June, 2010
As you may probably know about this because I have told this many times in my blog, I have collapsed all of a sudden 17 years ago. I had to go through with several surgeries and I was hospitalized for some time. Then, my gallbladder and large intestine were totally removed. After the surgeries, the God appeared and asked me----the one who is destined to die, if you would continue to tread the road for prayer with your mother, I would save your life---so answer me right away. I was sitting straight on the bed in the hospital and was answering the God that I would continue my own duty and prayers. Thus, I gained my second life and I am being in the hand of God.
The doctor connected my small intestine and the rectum. Usually, the water coming from the small intestine is to be absorbed by the large intestine. But, since my large intestine was removed, this function did not work at all. Consequently, the water coming from my small intestine is to be released as it is to outside of my body directly. This important water contains lots of nutrition. So when it is washed away from my body to outside, it naturally ends up with the shortage of water, nutrition and sometimes would fall into a fit of convulsions.
I had to live up with myself after a series of surgery. And I dared to challenge a life of FAST for 47 days, only with brown sugar, water and salt, after my prayer in 2003. I moved around Japan by car, from the center(Honshu) to the north(Hokkaido) and climbed many mountains. But, due to this FAST, I lost not only lots of fat but my own muscles as well. Worse still, excessive release of water from my body caused me many convulsions around my body and anemia. I am aware that I need to rebuild myself, but this is a fact that I have conducted many prayers and travels under such condition.
