Proof The Bible Is True

Although I had endured intense pain in my leg for months, I’d put off going to the doctor. I was terrified he’d tell me I needed an operation.

 

“I can’t believe you waited so long,” he chided me when I finally went. “Your leg is bothering you because a disk in your back is pressing on a nerve ending. We’ll schedule surgery for next week.”

 

Even after he explained every detail of the procedure to my husband, Dave, and me, I was still a nervous wreck. I prayed for comfort all the way into the operating room, until the anesthesia took effect.

 

When I came to in the recovery room afterward, I didn’t know where I was or why a nurse hovered over me. My vision was so foggy I could barely make out “Alice” on the nurse’s name tag, and her face was a blur. But her voice comforted me. “Did everything go okay?” I asked weakly. Alice took my hand, saying, “Your operation was successful. The ruptured disk has been removed. I spoke to your husband, and he’ll be up in a minute.”
