AS KMBC 9’S DONNA PITMAN SHOWS US, HE’S WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCES. ♪ DONNA: HE GOES BY D-J MIKE J., MICHAEL FREELAND, AND AUTHOR. MICHAEL FREELAND: I USED TO PRAY THE PRAYER THAT I WOULD RATHER LEAVE THIS EARTH THAN TO ENDURE ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES OF PAIN. DONNA: WHEN HE WAS 5, HIS MOM NOTICED SOMETHING VERY WRONG. MICHAEL FREELAND: I REMEMBER HER LIFTING MY RIGHT LEG, THEN MY LEFT LEG, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR HER SCREAM. WHEN SHE SCREAMED, SHE LEFT ME IN THE TUB, AND I AM SITTING THERE WONDERING WHAT’S GOING ON. DONNA: HIS LEG INCREDIBLY SWOLLEN.

MICHAEL FREELAND: THE SICKNESS HAS PLAGUED ME MY WHOLE LIFE. EVEN AS I STAND HERE, I HAVE TO WEAR LEG COMPRESSION. DONNA: DESPITE PAIN, FREELAND FOUND PASSION D-J’ING. MICHAEL FREELAND: I GRAVITATED TO MUSIC. MUSIC BECAME A PART OF ME. I LOVED THE MUSIC. AND BECAUSE I LOVED THE MUSIC, USE THE MUSIC AT SOME POINT BECAUSE I REALIZED IT HELPED TO HEAL ME. DONNA: ANOTHER REMEDY -- WRITING. MICHAEL FREELAND: I SPENT A LOT OF TIME KEEPING MYSELF UNDER WRAPS. NOT TALKING ABOUT MELROSE DISEASE. NOT SHOWING PEOPLE WHAT I DEALT WITH, WITH MY LEG, NOT DISCUSSING IT. DONNA: NOW, IT’S ALL IN HIS BOOK, "FREE YOUR LAND: DEVELOPING YOUR MENTAL REAL ESTATE." MICHAEL FREELAND: LET ME GIVE YOU MY JOURNEY, IF THAT HELPS, TO PUT YOU ON MY BACK AND BRING YOU WITH ME. DONNA: AS FOR THAT PRAYER? WHEN HE ASKED GOD TO TAKE HIM.
