Secondary School teacher J E Turley shines the spotlight on the struggles and comedic situations that hundreds of thousands of people who wear a stoma bag find themselves in every day of their lives
Synopsis:
Tragic but hilarious true stories detailing the struggles of pooing into a bag for life. Sh*t Happens takes you loo to loo across the globe, flushing dirty toilet humour, failed romance, and life-threatening disease all down the same skid marked basin.
Featuring an entertaining cast of NHS heroes and fellow barmy patients, eleven tales recount the turbulent journey from seeking a diagnosis, to madness-inducing medication, before gut-wrenching surgeries.
The collection will both tickle and strike a chord with anyone, whether you know the hardship of mental and physical health battles or can simply recall regretting a late-night curry the next day.
The author says:
“There is no cure for Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, and they affect many hundreds of thousands of people in the UK, with relatively poor understanding in society and low levels of cure research funding.”
Published by Track Press Books, Sh*t Happens is available in paperback (£6.99) from the publisher at https://trackpressbooks.co.uk/product/sht-happens/
