An Education in Sloshing

Sloshing.

Yes – an official term referred to in much of the literature provided by many of the Breast Cancer support services.

I’d read about it, but not really appreciated exactly what it meant.

Let me try to explain.

Imagine two round hot water bottles (only cold) in your chest. Each time you bend/lean forward, to the side or backwards – the fluid within – moves. That, is sloshing.

Some of these movements I’ve discovered, can bring on an immediate wave of nausea. It stops me in my tracks. Rather than giving into it – I try to laugh at the strangeness of the sensation.

Blessing is – it won’t continue with the permanent silicone implants.

Bring on October 19!
