I thought perhaps I was in for some hypnotic mumbo jumbo, but then he placed his hands on my shoulders and I felt what I can only describe as a strobing sensation coursing through my body. He then placed his hand on my ankle and it felt like a bunsen burner had been lit under my leg. I felt like my ankle was in a vice and I asked Douglas to stop gripping it, but when I looked, he simply had the palm of his hand flat on my leg! He removed his hand and told me to stand up. I walked towards my crutches, absolutely pain-free. Douglas remarked that I wouldn’t be needing them and he was right. I wandered around the waiting room hopping and balancing on the injured ankle that an hour earlier I could not stand on, even for a second.
