It was September 2023, and I could hardly wait for my yearly visit to see my sister in California. Besides being with family again, I had just gotten an electric bike and was eager to ride with her and her husband on the scenic hills with panoramic views of the ocean.
We had just set off on our initial bike outing, when I began to feel dizzy and disoriented while descending the first hill. I managed to cross a busy street, but slowed down and fell on my side into some bushes. My mobility was limited, but I was able to think and speak clearly. I called out to my sister for help and asked her to phone my husband, who was back at the house. I knew he would support me in prayer and also call a Christian Science practitioner for treatment.
My brother-in-law rode back to his home and returned in a car with my husband. I was in no pain; in fact, I had no feeling at all on one side of my body. Both men had to slide me into the back seat. Passersby offered to help, and I’m so grateful that this wasn’t needed.
