Day 83 - Do NOT use if you have Hey Fever!!!

Tonight I have been packing!  Not for me, but for my two very lucky children.  Cassidy is going to Disneyland with her Daddy and Luke is going to Cyprus with his best friend Brandon.  What on earth and I going to do with myself?

I have however, succumbed to the calling of the second book of the triology.... 50 Shades Darker!  A romantic, liberating and totally addictive novel that seems to obsess you, possess you and stay with you!  However, I need to overcome my jealousy towards Anastasia and her constant whining inner goddess.

Do not use if you have hay fever!

My friend came over this evening, she has purchased a very interesting piece of machinery that you pop around your waist, turn on and then it makes you loose weight and you don't have to do a thing... you can sit in an armchair (eating chocolate), turn the thing on and the pounds fall off you... we opened the box, read the instructions and figured out why this thing was so absolutely fantastic.  After reading the instructions, which is something that both Judith and I rarely do, tending to just find where the batteries go and just turn the thing on.  We thought it would be a good idea as there seemed to be no buzzing sensation or movement that we are indeed quite used to!  So, from fits of laughter, we lost about 4lbs in 10 minutes as we seemed unable to stop our hysteria due to the following .....

The device must not be used:

On the head: here it can cause seizures
On the neck/ carotid artery:  Here it can cause cardiac arrest
On the pharynx and larynx:  Here it can cause muscle spasms, which lead to suffocation.
Near the ribcage:  Here it can increase the risk of ventricular fibrillation and lead to cardiac arrest
Keep the device away from children
Never use the device while you are in the bath or in the shower and do not store the device in places where it can fall into the bath or washbasin.

For your safety!

Only to be used by very healthy adults
The device should definitely not be used in the following cases:

Implanted electrical devices (e.g. pacemakers)
If there are any metal implants at the application site
Cardiac arrhythmias
Acute illness
Epilepsy
In malignant diseases
In the region of skin injuries and cuts
Pregnancy
When there is an increased tendency to bleed e.g. after an acute injury or a fracture.  The stimulation current can trigger or exacerbate bleeding.
After an operation when muscle contractions could impair the healing process
When a high frequency surgical device is connected at the same time
In case of low or high blood pressure
Hay Fever (What????)
Psychosis
In swollen or inflamed regions
Near (less than 1m) near microwave ovens or microwave therapy devices, which could cause fluctuation in the output parameters of the device
Do not use when asleep driving a vehicle at the same time as operating machinery.

If in doubt, consult your doctor!!

MUST GET ONE!!!! 

So, basically, my understanding is that if you have hay fever and drive whilst you are asleep whilst operating some kind of machine - like say, A CAR - Then this device can be very dangerous!!!!

Well, Judith and I laughed so much that the bloody thing worked a treat, our stomach muscles were indeed tighter and tenser after fits of hysterics - so, do not bother buying this "Beurer" electrode device for bucket loads of money... just get the instructions down loaded from the internet!!!

Downstairs I have the girls watching the trilogy of The Lion King (bless) which has left me wondering if my trilogy will be made into a film (ooooh errr).

Today's training comprised of walks into Pinner x 2 walk back from Pinner x 2, Massimo for coffee, bar of chocolate and a big bag of Doritos and oodles of laughter..... tomorrow, I must be good, tomorrow, I must be good.

Last chances to purchase the raffle tickets for the first prize of the ipad 3..... come see me at the Pinner Arms!

Have a great weekend XXX
