I was supposed to be recovering from carpal tunnel surgery this week but it seems that having cellulitis takes a front row seat over elective surgery. After multiple days of bed rest and antibiotics it seems I may be going to the hospital if they can find a bed for me.

For most of us (young and old), the excitement of Christmas has worn off. Right now, most adults and teenagers are looking forward to bringing in the new year, which is normal.
