A phantom rectum is the least of Aki’s problems; at least it behaves itself in public. No, it’s her stoma that has a mind of it’s own, gurgling and rumbling without any sense of propriety. Standing in the middle of the grocery shop, her trolley half full, her pouch fit to bursting, there’s a slight fug in the air and her fellow shoppers start to take notice. Oh, the humiliation…
An interesting story, set over a period of 4 months whilst Akins on the road of recovery and about how her little family get through this period. It’s not an extraordinary tale as the author says, just an everyday story going on around the world. It’s a story that needs to be told and needs to be discussed more often. The little strengths people and families have, the ordinary problems and issues they live. This was well written, thought provoking and I really hope lots of people read this.

Interesting subject matter and dealt with in a heart warming way, with some gentle humour. Certainly increased my knowledge a little and my sympathy a lot for those in similar circumstances.
