The Five Worst Things About Surviving Cancer.
Yes, you read that right, The Five Worst Things About Surviving Cancer.
When Kat asked me to write a guest post for the Canard Collective, this was the first topic that jumped to mind. Well, actually, to be fully honest, my first thoughts were about how much easier it would be to write about the five best things about, well, almost anything. The five best things about being divorced, for instance, or being unemployed or… Well, you get the idea. But, then, being the contrarian that I am, I thought about this. You know, people always think when you survive a major illness, or, as I like to say, cheat death, that your troubles are over. But, gentle readers, I’m here to tell you that it is not so. Surviving is just the beginning of the problems.
So, go over to the Collective and read what I wrote. Then laugh at how different it is from all the other stuff that people did guest posts about.

Thanks, Peter! I was a little worried about how it would be received over there because it’s a little out of character with the rest of the posts, but kat! had faith in me.
I’m just glad everyone seems to like it.

I’m going to have to ditto 4. I wanted to scream “I’m not made of glass” TYVM! I have to say I miss the sleeping whenever I wanted and gosh the drugs were awesome.

Yeah, Jenn, I have to admit, that demerol in an IV drip sure was nice!

Great article…sounds like something I would write. Some people seem so shocked to find that everyone doesn’t have a perfect life or has emotions other than estatic joy.
