Veggies are Good For You

Its been  a long day. A day that started with a surreal ride through the vast expanse of  slightly smouldering bush on my way to the office in Perth. It finished up with a conversation with one of my  more special and trusted colleagues at the bank.

“How are you doing ? How are you really doing ?” she asked in a genuinely concerned tone. With my guard momentarily dropped, I mentioned the significant discomfort I am continuing to experience in my chest region, and added for good measure “Its the Hormones !”

“Cabbages, you need Cabbages ! ” was the almost instant response.

Its probably says a great deal about my state of mind, that my immediate thoughts somewhat missed the point. These immediate thoughts, that I hasten to add, I deeply regret being unable to stop myself uttering were somewhat short of the mark…..

.”But they are not the right shape, can you buy them buy cup size ?  and surely on a day like today they will be going off by mid afternoon ?”

With her eyes pointing skywards and a huge smile on her lips, she politely suggested that it was best to eat them as opposed to using them as prosthetics…

    Haha. I remember being told the same thing and being slightly perplexed. You do learn to love that pain 🙂

    The other thing you might try is peppermint. Pretty much anything. Plus it’s easy to carry a tin of mints than half a cabbage.

    That is funny,I have a vague recollection of putting cabbage leaves in my bra when I was breastfeeding, supposed to be helpful but I wouldn’t recommend it:-)
