I believe in the power of prayer. One of the members of our congregation was hospitalized with severe postpartum depression after the birth of her second child. Upon her release from hospital, she jumped in front of a train and was hospitalized in a coma with little hope sheād survive. Our little congregation prayed at every gathering for her recovery. We prayed together and on our own. After a month she emerged from her coma and she survived. No one will ever convince me that our prayers didnāt help that happen.
And I believe my āremarkableā recovery is due to prayer as well. The staff keeps talking about my āhigh pain toleranceā and I keep replying Iām not having much pain.
Drugs, right up to opioids, are available to me on request, but I have to ask for them. Today, I had 2 Tylenol when I woke up at 6:30, and the same tonight at 9:00 pm. I also had 2 hours of physio today, including stair climbing and a lot of walking.
Iām a total wuss about pain. Plus they told me pain management is the key to my ability to do physio and not to be shy about asking for meds, and Iām not. I just havenāt needed them.
