About this ebook
It's not funny!
You may never sit down again …
A baby boomer wife rides an emotional rollercoaster when her husband develops severe hemorrhoids, and must learn the secrets of successful caring.
Long-married baby boomers, Sue and John, were enjoying retirement. Their peaceful lifestyle was disrupted without warning when John developed severe hemorrhoids.
John didn't mean to become an irritable grumpy old man. Sue didn't mean to dismiss his suffering and pain as hypochondria, or trivialise its impact. Yet, after forty years of marriage, they still couldn't quite get it together, in spite of their best efforts.
Part memoir, part opinion, this brief account sets out the timeline from diagnosis to successful surgery, and reflects on some of the many roles we all play in marriage, including household management, caring, and emotional support.
A candid look at the emotional side of living with illness. And some of it is funny, or at least humorous.
Warnings - this book does NOT contain medical advice. It does contain frank language and discussion of medical symptoms.
Susan Trowth
Sue Trowth has been a baby boomer since 1954. She's been lucky enough to live her whole life in Australia and to be married to the same man for over forty years. Sue doesn't care about coffee, baristas, shoes, babies, overseas travel, clothes, makeup or any aspects of fashion whatsoever. Sue is interested in politics, economics & the environment. In other words, the same things baby boomers have always cared about. And books. There can never be enough books.
