QUICK HEALING OF BROKEN PELVIC BONE
A couple of years ago, I broke my pelvic bone. I have always relied on prayer and treatment in Christian Science for healing. But I was in a public place at the time, and I was taken to the emergency room of a local hospital, where the medical staff took X-rays. The doctors told me that I would have to be immobile for 12 weeks while an excruciating process of healing took place. Because of the way the bone had been injured, they said, there was nothing they could do for me but give me a lot of pain pills.
At that point I said, "Thank you very much, but if you don't mind, I'm going to get a second opinion." I asked to be taken home. A family member who had a truck that I could recline in came to pick me up. At home, I got out my books, the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy's writings, and said, "Father, I want the second opinion. Let's see what You know." This was my prayer.
