Age no barrier to healing a broken arm

Kiyoko Yada

I am a senior citizen living in a residence designed for active seniors. A couple of years ago, I must have fallen getting out of bed. A nurse who came to my room to awaken me found me lying on the floor between my bed and the adjacent sofa. I was not aware of having fallen, and I may have lost consciousness for a while. But at the time the nurse helped me, I was conscious, and discovered that my left arm was useless from the shoulder to my fingertips.

At my request, the nurse called a Christian Science practitioner who had prayed for me on other occasions and told her about my condition. The practitioner immediately began to pray for me. She called back to remind me of something familiar to me, that "accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind," a statement in Mary Baker Eddy's book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 424). Actually, this statement had been my first thought after regaining consciousness and becoming aware of my situation.

I had an X-ray taken at a local clinic, but had no further medical treatment. The X-ray showed that my arm had been fractured at the shoulder.
