About eleven years ago, following an automobile accident in the Sierra Nevada mountains, I was taken by ambulance to a hospital. As I regained consciousness, I began pondering many truths learned in daily study of the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly. My injuries were extensive, including many broken bones. I was put in traction. Later I learned that I had not been expected to live.

Although I permitted the doctor to set the bones, I took no medicine or sedatives, as I had no need for them. Soon after the accident the pain had been overcome through prayer in Christian Science. I had the support of my wife, and treatment from a Christian Science practitioner.

After two months I was put in a full body cast and taken to my home in the San Francisco Bay area, where my wife cared for me. The practitioner continued to treat me and to give me many truths to study and ponder. Day by day prayer and gratitude were my constant companions.
