I have IBS and it just skyrocketed in its effects on me over a period of a few years. Doctors had no clue.
I lost my job, went bankrupt, and had a lost decade.
Turned out I had a hernia that turned my IBS into regular intestine blockages. Public benefits paid for the surgery, and here I am almost twenty years later. (Worth noting that I met a woman who never thought she would find love or get married, and she demanded I get the surgery.)
I am back to being unemployed and need some simple remote work, so if anyone has ideas, much appreciated.
I did say stealth sequel, so be wary.
Same author, great story, very different book. I'm sure you will still enjoy the read though.
