December Wrap Up

December was a very busy month.  I started going back to work.  A bunch of physical therapy appointments for my hand plus a scare my co-worker created thinking I might have osteomyelitis in my finger because it was still very red and swollen on top of the fact that I was experiencing erratic temperature fluctuations.  Had a follow up with a different surgeon, this time an actual hand-surgeon instead of the foot-surgeon who did the surgery on my hand -don't ask.  Then come the holidays!

As for my goal this month, I do believe I was able to significantly increase my water intake.  Due to my dogs schedule of wanting to go out well before my alarm goes off, I have been drinking a glass at that time which allows my body to process the water and be ready for breakfast 45-60 minutes later.  With the additional round (21 days worth) of extra-strength antibiotics the hand-surgeon put me on, I think that water consumption would have been about the only thing worth concentrating on this month.  While the antibiotics are killing my internal flora and my hair, my skin looks great as it has been well hydrated even in the cold northern climate.

Off to drink more water!

Have a happy New Year! Be Safe! Continue to check back for next month's challenge!
