One day, in the summer of 1986, I began to suffer pain in my teeth. The suffering continued for two days and nights before I decided I would take steps to remedy it. During this time I had been halfheartedly praying. After making no progress toward healing with these efforts, I made an appointment to see a dentist the next morning.

The dentist gave me an examination and took X-rays. He told me that my teeth were healthy and that the pain was caused by a severe sinus infection. He pointed this out to me on an X-ray. He said that the condition wouldn't improve on its own and that I would have to have it drained. He gave me two prescriptions—one to help control the infection and the other for pain. He asked me to call him when I'd decided to have the condition drained and he would give me the name of a specialist.

On the way home I had the prescriptions filled. Once home, however, I decided to store the two bottles of medicine and not use them unless it seemed absolutely necessary. (As a lifelong Christian Scientist, I had never used medicine.)
