A short while later, at a hospital 50 miles away, Michael Strusiak was being prepped for surgery after receiving a call that his second chance had come.

On top of that, Michael had the cruelest of diet restrictions—in addition to not being able to consume sugars, most foods were restricted and he was unable to even drink water.
