Imagine the terror of waking up in a sterile environment; nurses, doctors and family members are around you. In author Melvin Anderson's chilling account, Diabetes? What's That? he describes a chronic illness that reveals itself suddenly and his valiant struggle to return to normalcy. Anderson suffers a diabetic coma and is disoriented, unable to see clearly. His mental acuity and physical condition are compromised. Before his attack, he and his wife had been going through marital problems. Life as he knew it was changed forever and completely. His account of the problems he encountered dealing with the bureaucratic healthcare system, the fight to regain his mental and physical strength, and the resolution of learning his wife was truly his advocate is heartwarming and genuine. As he learns how to take back the life that his disease tried to rob him of, he comes to an astonishing revelation-life is a gift and love is truly the only thing that matters. Anderson's tale of fighting to regain his sense of self is nothing short of magnificent. You will be amazed and moved by this deeply personal account and inspired by his tenacity, wisdom and honesty.
