Healthy Computer Tip

For those using a computer on a regular basis, here's something that may be helpful. Most of us need a mouse when using our computers. Instead of spending money on a new mouse pad, make your own.

Take some bubble wrap and roll it up into the size you need to lift your wrist to the proper height. Tape the bubble wrap to secure it in the roll formation. Place this roll underneath your wrist. The proper roll height will be when your hand is level with your wrist. You do not want your hand either going down or up when using the mouse. Using a mouse will help prevent the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Even if you need to purchase bubble wrap, it is dirt cheap compared to a new mouse pad.

Good luck and happy computing to you!
