Thanks

A friend of mine had a little problem the other day. Today, she doesn’t. Two weeks ago, she slipped while walking some stairs and ended up in hospital where x-rays were taken, confirming a break near her ankle. Sporting a new cast, she started using crutches and had other people driving her around in her own car (very much like I did when my knee was damaged).

A short while later she had another slip and thankfully didn’t break anything but the slip happened close to some water and she fell in. Since casts are not meant to get wet, it had to come off.

Three days after the cast was put on, she was back to see a doctor who would tell her if she needed surgery to fix the break properly. She went in with her sister and as they walked in, the doctor asked which one was the patient. He was busy looking at the x-ray and saying that it was definitely a bad break; giving the name and location of the break. After figuring out which girl had the break, he examined her leg and where there should have been pain, there was none; where there should have been a broken bone, there was a completely healthy bone. He looked at the X-ray again and asked her when it had been taken (I guess the fine print on the X-ray was too small or something so he didn’t just read the date on there) and upon realizing the bone was broken only three days earlier, was left speechless – giving her the chance to declare to him that it was simply a miracle.

She had a three hour dance class the next day and four days after the break was back to functioning completely normally with even the bruising around the break gone.

Thank God that he still does miracles today!
