I'm writing this on October 5th, 2026, because yesterday was the first time it hit me that this was truly an amazing miracle. But the miracle happened last month on September 12th. Very fittingly, it was on 911 (September 11th) that I started having quite a bit of serious illness which seemed to indicate post-surgical complications (internal infection) after my appendix removal surgery. My belly was all swollen up all hugely, I was having some resistence to eating, intermittent mild nausea and faintness, and an overall sense of feeling unwell. At the hospital they said in my discharge papers to come to the ER if that kind of thing happens because they'd want to check me for internal infection. I was hoping it might go away on its own but the symptoms started getting much worse the next day and I was alarmed. At the same time, I had had a recent very serious fall on September 10th (where I injured my arm, hand and ribs), and I was feeing quite a bit of severe aches and pains just starting up all over my body about that.
I went to the hospital on the 12th and got checked out. I thought I'd ask for XRays while I was at it incase of any fractures from the fall. Thankfully they were able to find immediately from my bloodwork that there was no internal infection and the XRays came out with no fractures. And I would never have mentioned this as a miracle at all except that the amazing thing was, I felt like a million bucks all of a sudden and all my symptoms went away like the snap of a finger, including all my aches and pains, my stomach and all the issues. Plus I felt GREAT. At the time I sent a message to my Dad joking around that I can't believe the transformation — it's as if the doctors performed a spiritual healing on me even though all they did was check me, and they didn't administer any cures for anything (lol). I thought that was a funny joke at the time but the fact was, I felt a healing happening. I couldn't believe how much better I suddenly felt. And now I realize it's not a joke. The doctors didn't do the healing but it seems to me that getting it checked out with tests seemed to trigger this effect.
It seems to me now, considering that there's been so many other miracles, that I did have internal infection and this was cleared. At minimum, my symptoms were all cleared. And I believe that it was because there was a critical force ensuring my protection from the tests coming out positive for infection and fractures. The thing is, I've seen that pattern in the other miracle healings of physical ailments. The whole healing process seems to centre around the testing as an anchoring for the miracles. I see how that adds value to the miracle in a way. It was as though it needed me to get tested so that it could put this whole thing to bed. It forced the tests to be clear and that forced the condition out. That's roughly how I view the event, but if I have any further reflections on it someday I'll be sure to add it. Frankly, the way it felt so much better suddenly like a snap of a finger really rings for me as miraculous because I experienced that so fully.
