iPad
Well, it looks as though plenty of my viewers are ‘early adopters’ of the new iPad (see my ergonomic review here.) Several of you agree with my thoughts on the 45 degree tilt for the screen. Fortunately, it looks as though at least 2 manufacturers will soon release iPad covers with an integrated, adjustable angle stand. Based upon the early sales, I suspect there will be plenty of companies jumping on the iPad accessory bandwagon.
In the mean time, please let me know your experiences with your iPad- ergonomic concerns or others. I cannot wait to get mine!
Gardening
Thank you for the kind words about ways to make your gardening more back friendly. I received a couple of other suggestions from viewers:
“I use a small dolly to scoot around the garden when I am on the flagstone portion of our patio, that way I don’t need to keep getting up and down. Thank you for your other tips” -Stan
“I really couldn’t handle getting up and down over & over again, and bought a set of garden tools with long handles from Smith & Hawken- I can do pretty much all of my gardening from a standing position.” -Judy
And there’s this one, which I received in various versions from 4-5 different viewers:
“I let my kids do our gardening”
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please send them my way.
The Spring Flu
Over the past several weeks, I have treated a bunch of patients with a Spring flu- something I don’t usually see here in the Philly area, where the flu usually runs it’s course by the end of February. Well, yesterday the flu hit me- and I cannot tell you how awful it actually is. I’ve had to cancel patients and close my office today, so I may take a day or two off writing (it’s totally knocking me down just typing this.) Check back for updates, and THANK YOU to my wife, Donna, for taking care of this difficult patient.
