More Parts Than A Chicken Nugget: A Story of Survival, Second Chances and the Family That Held Me Together
BJ Odom has lived a life the doctors said would be cut short-but instead, he's turned it into a comedy. From farm fields to radio studios, hospital beds to comedy stages, BJ has learned to survive with grit, grace, and a whole lot of duct tape humor.
This isn't a sob story. It's a celebration of second chances, family, laughter, and the kind of resilience that shows up when you least expect it.
If you've ever faced hard times (and who hasn't?), this book will remind you that sometimes the best medicine really is a good laugh and a positive attitude.

Still Here: Survival Beyond Imagination
What the author of this book, BJ Odom, has gone through medically - and survived - seems like it should be fiction. But it’s not. His life-long struggle with his health, beginning as a “blue baby” and continuing through years of surgeries and two transplants (Yes, TWO!) is real - yet still he lives, at age 70, and with his humor intact and a positive attitude. It’s all shockingly true, and an inspiring read.
