Instantaneous healing of a severe concussion

I was spending my summer in Colorado playing polocrosse, which is very similar to polo and lacrosse, but on horseback. During our first game in a three-day tournament, I was hit from the left side and fell off my horse, knocking my head on the ground. 

I felt like I’d been hit by a train. My vision became blurry and pixelated, and I could feel that I was losing consciousness. 

This might not seem like a time when I had a choice about how to feel or how my body was responding to the fall. But I’ve learned from attending Christian Science Sunday School that in any situation I always have a choice. My choice is between what I know to be true about God and what appears to be true according to the five physical senses. Starting from the basis that God is good, present everywhere, and all-powerful, I can reject anything that says that something other than good is going on.
