Bone Fracture Healed

A couple of weeks ago, I started to get a pain in my left ankle. It wasn't really anything at first so I kept on walking on it. Throughout the day, the pain gradually got worse until midnight when I could barely walk or stand on my own. The next day I went to Redfern and found out that I had a stress fracture. I refused crutches and was on medication so that I could at least walk a little. I kept doing that and eventually, I made it worse. I went onto crutches and got more medication from Redfern. This was 6 days after I got the stress fracture. That night was house church. I went down right when it began but was having trouble with the medication so I went back upstairs and slept on the futon for about 2 hours until I woke up again. Downstairs, they said for everyone to line against the walls and they were going to pray over everyone. I decide to go back downstairs. I was so tired from the medication that I had to have help to get up onto my crutches. I get downstairs and after a while a girl named Jordan comes up to me and asks if she could pray over my ankle. She said that her hands felt like they were burning. I didn't know her and she didn't know what was wrong with my ankle. I showed her where it hurt and she laid hands on me and started to pray over my ankle. When they finished praying, I realized that the side effects of the medication were gone and they tell me to try out my ankle. I set my crutches down and tell them that it felt completely better. I could jump, run, and walk! Jordan then asks what was wrong with my ankle and I tell her it had been a stress fracture. She then proceeds to tell me that she had gotten a vision while she was praying of my ankle with a small hair-line fracture and she saw the Lord's hand go on it and smooth out the bone.
