November 23, 2023May 4, 2020 by Las Vegas Woman

One of the most daunting parts of any surgery is the recovery process. You know the procedure is reasonably straightforward, but you’re worried about how you will respond after the surgery. Suppose you are weighing the pros and cons of laser eye surgery. In that case, the following information about what to expect after the procedure may be worth reading.

What to Do on The Day of Your Surgery

Your laser eye surgery will be over and done before you know it, especially if you have an experienced eye specialist from the Insight Eye Clinic to guide you through every step. Once the procedure is over, it’s essential to follow their advice to give your eyes a chance to begin healing.

Have someone bring you to and from your appointment, as you cannot drive immediately after your surgery. You must also keep your eyes well-lubricated throughout the day with provided eye drops and avoid reading, watching TV, or using a computer.

Your eye specialist will also recommend not staring without lubricating your eyes, avoiding alcohol, and not showering after the surgery.

Within A Day Of Your Surgery

While your actions may have been restricted immediately after your surgery, you certainly have more freedom the day after. You may shower, but avoid getting soap or water near or in your eyes.

Pregnancy is a time in a person’s life when many of their normal activities might take a back seat and that may include a postponement of their exercise and fitness routines. It is often thought that whilst pregnant, women should not be partaking in anything physical in nature, however, that is not the case for most individuals.

An expectant mother may be advised by her doctor to refrain from physical activity due to a medical condition or an enhanced risk to her or her unborn baby’s wellbeing that exists. However, for the majority of pregnant women exercise is not only possible but is encouraged. With this in mind, we thought we should highlight outline some exercise activities that can be done during pregnancy.

However, before we go into the details we must make the disclaimer that before undertaking any exercise, including those that follow, every expectant mother should seek the advice of their doctor to ascertain if there are any medical reasons why they should not. So, do not do any of the following exercise activities until you have been given the green light to do so from the medical professional who is advising you during your pregnancy.

Pilates

One of the core objectives of Pilates is to improve a person’s posture and balance. These become even more prevalent during pregnancy, especially as your baby grows larger. Pilates can help strengthen your core muscles including your pelvic muscles which can be invaluable during childbirth. Pilates will also help improve your posture as you are walking, something you will be especially grateful for in the latter stages of your pregnancy.

What To Do If You Are Falsely Accused Of A Crime

January 19, 2022November 8, 2016 by Las Vegas Woman

It is a reasonable assertion that the biggest injustice that can happen within criminal law is to be accused of something which you are completely innocent of. This can occur in different circumstances with either the police suspecting you of committing a crime and arresting you, or someone falsely, and possibly even maliciously, accusing you of a serious crime, which the police must act upon.

Stories of miscarriages of justice where innocent individuals have has their life destroyed and spent many years in prison can be extremely scary if you are innocent and being accused. In this article, we are going to give some basic guidelines as to what you should do if you are ever accused of a crime and are completely innocent.

Do Not Panic Or Behave Irrationally

This might seem obvious but when people are in situations that could have serious consequences, they do not always act irrationally. However, if you can remain calm and focussed should you ever be wrongly accused, it will help you. First, you must not do anything that really is a crime such as assault the police officer arresting you or you seek out your accuser to harass, threaten, or assault them.

Say Nothing Other Than What You Are Legally Required To Such As Your Name

You know you are innocent but there is little to be gained by trying to conduct your defence at this exact moment. Bear in mind the police will make notes or even record on camera what you say, so it is best to say nothing. Flippant remarks such as “Guilty” during your arrest will not be seen as a joke at your trial, so do not be your own worst enemy. Stay silent rather than give your accuser, the police, or the prosecution ammunition they can use against you.
