Injured knees healed

Daniel Wood

One night at the end of a performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, as the audience was clapping and filing out, the pianist suddenly decided to play an encore. Everyone plopped back into their seats. I did the same, not realizing that my chair seat had flipped up. So I slid heavily to the floor with my knees taking my full weight. I caught myself a finger’s breadth off the floor, tearing both knees with incredible, searing pain. I was almost unable to get up.

I immediately prayed about the pain, knowing that since man is entirely spiritual, the material body can’t tell him he’s in pain. That helped, and the pain diminished, but as I left the auditorium, I continued to hobble.

After a couple of weeks of limping, I began to feel as if I were nothing more than a mechanical entity with moving parts rubbing up against each other. Even though the pain was largely diminished, I began to fear that I had permanently injured myself.
