(Minghui.org) I will never forget the day I climbed to the roof of my house to clean the gutters. On my way down, the ladder collapsed and I fell from the top of the ladder to the ground.
My back hit the cement ground while my neck hit the metal ladder. I called for help and my husband rushed over. He was shocked when he saw me. I did not feel much pain.
I said, “I cannot stand up, please carry me inside.” When he helped me up, I immediately fainted.
He took me to the Auckland City Hospital. “It is very serious,” said the doctor after examining my X-rays. “We will inject a pain reliever and put you on an intravenous drip. You should not eat or drink. We will operate tomorrow.”
I had damaged several of my vertebrae. The dorsal vertebra was crushed from 2 cm to less than 0.5 cm. And my third vertebrae was crushed, too. Some broken pieces were right next to a nerve and needed to be removed before they caused more damage.
I was in ICU, and I thought that this was not a place for me. I am a Falun Dafa practitioner, I thought. At that point, I had practiced Dafa for 20 years, and I thought I did not need an operation. I said to Master Li Hongzhi: “I do not want anesthetics or an operation. Master, please put my broken bones back."
I emptied my mind. I started to recite Lunyu from Zhuan Falun and sent righteous thoughts every hour.
The Best Patient Ever
The next morning, the physician in charge told me that no operation would be needed. In my heart I shouted again and again: “Master saved me!”
The doctor continued: “Your injury is very serious. You will have to stay in the ICU. You need to stay in bed for six weeks. In addition to taking medicine, you will need injections daily because of the congestion in your abdomen. You will need an MRI, too.”
I did not really care what the doctor said because I knew Master was taking care of me. I thought: Master, I do not want any medication or injection. I asked Master to lock up the pain.”
Just the one thought resulted in a miracle. The pain, which prevented me from sleeping the night before, was gone. I had never felt so comfortable. It was as if hundreds of energy channels were opened and I felt a strong energy flow. My body seemed to be lighter. It was so wonderful! I was excited, and I knew it was Master who helped me. There are no words that can express my gratitude!
I wanted to tell all doctors and nurses and everyone who visited me about the power of Dafa.
I closed my eyes and started the Falun Dafa exercises while still laying in bed. I did the first and third exercises. A nurse came to give me medication, but quietly waited as to not disturb me. When I finished, she gave me a thumbs-up: “Wonderful!” I explained to her that I was practicing Falun Dafa; that I felt good and did not hurt anymore. She also did not insist on giving me a shot when I told her that I did not need one. I told other nurses the same whenever they wanted me to take medication.
A middle-aged doctor came on the second day. He said that the MRI showed that my neck was injured and my pelvis was cracked. He also warned me it would be dangerous if I did not receive anti-congestion shots since blood stasis might enter my lungs. “You look so young,” said the doctor. “You should treasure your life.”
I told him I practiced Falun Dafa, and that the strong energy from the practice can open blockages, excrete wastes from the body, cleanse it, and help it return to health. The energy can make the body become younger and it promotes longevity. I do not want to get the shot, I said, because I treasure my life.
The doctor later told a friend of mine that I impressed him: “She is the most lovely person I have ever met.”
Another young doctor came on the third day. He said that I would be transferred to the in-patient ward. “You are recovering well without taking shots and medicines,” he said. “We have never had a case like you before!”
I explained to him that I have practiced Falun Dafa for a long time, and that I did not need medication. “I thanked the doctors for their concern,” I said. “Please give the medicine to those who need it the most.”
“You are the best patient our hospital has ever had,” said the doctor.
Opportunities to Talk about Falun Dafa
In the in-patient ward, I shared a large room with three other patients, and they had many visitors. I took the opportunity to do the exercises and tell everyone about Falun Dafa. Several nurses asked if what I was doing was Falun Dafa. When I said yes, they all gave me a thumbs-up.
Whenever new patients came in, the nurses told them my story and the patients in turn told their friends and relatives. They all said that I experienced a miracle. They came to talk to me, and some said they would pray for me. I gave them Dafa materials.
When practitioners came to visit, I told them what happened. They said, “You did the right thing. Master is taking care of you.”
A nurse rolled me over and gave me a sponge bath one evening. This was against hospital rules since such a task requires two or three nurses. This nurse did it by herself, and she rolled me and bathed me very roughly. It felt as if my broken bones that had just healed were torn apart again. I cried in pain.
“You are in pain. I will give you a shot,” said the nurse. I said no, and she responded, “You won't be able to move your legs without the shot.”
I said I would be able to walk. I then lifted my feet very high. She looked in surprise.
The pain was so intense that I was unable to sleep that night. I looked inward. I found the attachments to showing off and zealotry. I was injured badly, but didn't feel much pain. I was not afraid of anything. The pain was gone two days later.
I dressed myself and stood during the sixth week. Everyone in the room clapped. “It's a miracle!” they said. I did the exercises, and then I walked off. Flabbergasted, the people in the room said, “Your energy is so powerful. We never imagined that this would be possible!”
Only Possible With Dafa
With an injury like mine, a person is often permanently disabled. But I stood up within six weeks. I did not have an operation and took no medication; neither was I given any shots. I could soon walk and do the exercises. It was indeed a miracle!
For the rest of my hospital stay, I used every opportunity to tell others about the goodness of Falun Dafa. The practitioners left me materials with information about Falun Dafa, so I gave them to my doctors.
Master not only saved me, but also saved doctors, nurses, and patients around me. Thank you, Master!
