I am very grateful for the healing of a sprained ankle and dislocated knee joint which resulted from a fall.
Being alone in the house at the time of the fall, I was filled with fear, but I constantly declared God's presence and power as I pressed the kneecap back into position. In a few minutes I was able to rise and walk to the telephone in order to ask for help from a Christian Science practitioner.
I remained at home that day, studying the Lesson-Sermon, consisting of citations from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, as outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly. That night I attended a lecture on Christian Science, experiencing some difficulty in walking. The next day I went back to my work in the schoolroom, carrying out all my schedule except the supervised play on the playground. The following day I began driving my car regularly and continued all my activities with growing freedom until, in slightly more than two months, there was little evidence of the accident.
