Quick recovery from a fall

One evening several months ago, my pant leg caught on a kitchen drawer, and I pitched forcefully backward, hitting my head on the corner of a cabinet door before landing on the stone floor.

Because I was too stunned to speak, my husband immediately called a Christian Science practitioner for treatment, as he knew that would be my wish. He held the phone up to my ear, and the practitioner spoke to me, affirming that all being is spiritual, not material, and is untouched by matter. After a while I sat up, and the pain subsided. 

I went to bed shortly after, and slept deeply. But early in the morning I needed to get up and go to the bathroom. The next thing I remember was my husband trying to get into the bathroom. I had fallen on the floor, unconscious, and was blocking the door. The symptoms of illness were intense.
