Whoo Hoo! Whoo! Hoo! whoo, hoo… wh.. h…??
That's it.. I'm cream-crackered by all this celebration.??
But… I was reading a Saga Magazine during one of my marathon 'wait and see' sessions and there was this advert for a circulation massager…??Nawtre (welsh for 'Now Then')… I was feeling vulnerable… creamed and crackered… in pain with a swollen and extended leg that was doing a fair impression of a concrete bollard… so my interest in a product that seemed to promise a flow of blood that would more or less instantly help to reduce pain, swelling, tired and aching legs and feet? was diabetic friendly (a major factor in convincing Janet that the cost was justified… at least in my mind it was) and there was a crisp, clear picture of the machine with 'Improves Lower Leg Circulation' wrapped around the top of the picture and 'Clinically Proven Technology' wrapped around the bottom.
I was seriously impressed. Semi-delirious… desperate… ready to clutch at straws… (Y/N) Y+Y+Y+ but there it was in Glorious Technicolor TM.
It coincided with my extremely busy doctor turning up and taking me into a side-room for another look at my leg… Nawtre… is that fate and serendipity or what? So I asked him about the machine.
I expected some sort of Science Vs Complementary battle to ensue but bug… but it didn't. My doctor said that using the machine would be fine… beneficial even… it seems that these machines are truly 'Clinically Proven Technology'… even for MM sufferers.
I thought that there might be some sort of objection arising because I was currently undergoing active treatment etcetera, etcetera… but no – fine… carry on regardless.
So when I got home I ordered one online from someone who lives on a houseboat on a big South American river. I chose the same one that was all singing, all dancing in the magazine… and I forgot to add that it had a big red tablet in the top right-hand corner with bright yellow writing that said 'As seen on TV'.
That was the beginning of last week… I then instantly forgot about it until it arrived unexpectedly this morning.
I am going to wait until 2pm before I try it… so unless I hear shouts of warning, horror stories, tales of restrictions or medical maladies in the next 2 hours…
Whoo Hoo?
Dai.
