Mountain Lions
You're all probably going to get sick of me over the next couple of days, stuck in hospital...
I've been trying to paste a copy of Caitlin Feeley's Mountain Lion analogy but all I have is my phone and it's defeating me! I'm sure some of you old hands have read it, but as a newbie, it really struck home to me. So, if you haven't seen it, do a google search. Try to find the full piece though as a number of people have just put excerpts on their sites.

- Welcome to the forum, @Vonniejoy - a great spot for questions, support & a laugh now & then
Yep - it is all bit of a shock, ending up here!!
Feel free to start a new thread & tell us a little bit about yourself in a new thread .... how you found us! ;)
All the best xx - Very new here, but definitely relate to the opening the fridge, didn’t see this shit coming @ all, it doesn’t happen to me, this is someone else’s shit😣
- Oh my goodness. This is amazing!! It's so awesome to have people who understand. It was actually a relief to read it. Thank you
- I hadn’t read this either so thank you for posting.
I believe this piece of writing is open to interpretation. It is interesting to read the many different ideas that have been sparked. Personally, I love it! I don’t think there’s any right or wrong about it , we are all climbing different mountains. - @Sister Thank you for sharing this. I'd not seen it before, so thanks @TripleNegMama for refreshing its presence. To begin with, I interpreted the "people whose job it is to look after you" as the medical team. And for me, a couple of them seemed at times to be standing aside taking photos of the mountain lion, or just watching the pursuit, or even blaming me because I was anxious at being chased by the mountain lion - rather than encouraging me or helping me to get away from it. Often I've been more angry with them than with the mountain lion for trying to kill me.
Kale, frozen lemon juice, the way you think causes cancer ... fuck off, onlookers. - And I can't stand Kale either - I reckon it is the worst tasting green veg I've ever tried!! Even adding onion & garlic didn't help it and it was already thinly sliced and STILL chewy! :(
- The Mountain Lion story depicts well the chaos our lives descend into when Breast Cancer decides to live with us.
- Thanks for the laughs girls, I really did LOL at the kale bit hahaha
- totally agree TripleNegMama
- Good idea @TripleNegMama I've never liked kale anyway Mxx
