As I returned home one Friday after a busy morning of shopping, I suddenly noticed that it was difficult for me to climb the front steps. This situation worsened during the weekend, and my constant companion became a straight-backed chair that I leaned on to get about.

Each day and much of each night I spent studying the Bible and Mrs. Eddy's writings to learn more of my true, spiritual selfhood. I also persistently refused to accept the picture the material senses were trying to project as real.

Sunday morning while in bed I became alarmed because I could not move. The suggestion came, What if you should never be able to get up again? It was at this point that I asked my husband to call a Christian Science practitioner.
