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... Aki
had not expected to live life with a colostomy bag. But then, does
anyone expect a routine colonoscopy to result in a punctured
intestine? To hell with it! It's not the end of the world and
millions of people with colostomy bags live normal lives. As for
Aki, given she's Japanese, this falls front and centre into her
psyche for hygiene and cleanliness. The only spanner in the works:
she has married an Englishman, seemingly raised by wolves, happy to
clean his hands on the inside of his pockets and eat food that has
fallen on the floor. This could get messy!
