Complete recovery from injuries

Susan Woeltjen

My husband was driving us home one night when we hit a car broadside that had unpredictably turned in front of us while we both had a green light. The other driver was fine and able to drive away, and my husband was not hurt, but our car was demolished, and I was badly injured. 

No one would touch me because of my condition. Police were all around us, and I asked not to be taken to the hospital, as I wanted to go home and be cared for through Christian Science treatment. I was raised in Christian Science, and my needs have always been effectively met by prayer. I am so grateful for the kind truck driver who stopped and offered to drive us home. 

At home on the sofa, I could not move without great pain. My back appeared to be injured. I was not thinking clearly, and reading was not an option. My brother-in-law sat with me that night in prayer. When I called a Christian Science practitioner, she said, “I’m on it!” That meant she would give me Christian Science treatment, and I felt comforted. My husband was distraught with fear for me and guilt that he had not been able to avoid the accident, so the practitioner helped him to be free of his concern that he had brought harm to me.
