Well, actually, that’s not REALLY the case…it’s just that my get up and go…got up and went and was last seen snoozing by an all-night Starbucks shop. 
The good news is my family is entirely healthy, yay! The bad news is yep, I’m relapsing a tad. But hey, so long as everyone else is okay, I’ll recover in my own time (ideally by the 4th, as the Ling Clan is dying to see the fireworks extravaganza. Wheeee. Not).
What else? Well, all 4 kids are building their own sites, yay! Honorable Boy 1 and Honorable Boy 2 are using Wix.com - it’s a drag-and-drop flash thingee that makes site creation very easy. And the girls have their own blogs that are coming along most peachy indeed. Read more »

Morning all,
Well! Now that I’ve fully recovered, my husband came down with the same illness but far worse than anyone else in the family. :( To hell with adult karate yesterday; I shunned that and spent the evening taking care of him. This morning, he’s a bit better and it does look like the worst is over. But we’ll see; I just made him an awesome Soup of Wonders that should assist in recovery (gourmet cooking is one of my hidden trademarks).
Life just ain’t okay if the husband is sick. 
‘course, with the running around I’ve been doing with Camp Ling and such, I’m now feeling twinges of the virus returning so I started a massive homeotherapy campaign (I really don’t have the time now to get sick AGAIN!). Such is the life of your typical all-powerful Mother Unit.

New lenses, new hacky sacks, new self-confidence, new ….
Morning!
How things change when your outlook is adjusted.
Now that I know what paths I can take with my left ankle (orthotics tomorrow, surgery perhaps sometime), I’ve given myself permission to regain my confidence regarding Martial Arts. It was a very bad few days prior to that; I hate second-guessing myself.
But! Yesterday I did do adult karate/sparring and did NOT sit it out. Yay! True, I kept repeating to myself, I can DO this, and also true, my technique is non-existent in sparring, but hey…it was a start once agian. Yay!
Squidoo-wise, I’m making/updating some rather nifty lenses:

Dr. Michael Cunningham, Orthopedics in Holmdel, Monmouth County (and why I’m blogging about him)
Today has been most fascinating indeed!
First off, if you’re looking to schedule an appointment with Dr. Cunningham, the Orthopedic surgeon based in Hazlet, Monmouth County NJ, there’s his new information:
Dr. Cunningham, MD, Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine (NJ)
New Phone Number: 732-850-2666
733 N Beers Street, Suite L3
Holmdel, NJ 07733
Got that? Alrighty then, onto why I’m blogging about him!
You see, 2 years ago or so, I saw him in reference to my MHE problem (a doorknob on my femur - you can see that lovely picture over at my Fab Fit mom site). He ended up referring me to a bone tumor doctor (Dr. Wittig, another excellent surgeon), who removed that bone beastie in November of 2007. I’m happy to report that surgery has healed beautifully!
Well, another MHE problem has cropped up - my left ankle is majorily squooshed to the side due to an exostoses that prevented normal bone development between my tibula and my fibular.
I remembered visiting Dr. Cunningham ‘way back when….so I just returned from his office today.
He gave me several potential future scenarios - get my orthotics recasted (that’s a definite), and possibly get my ankle restructured (but there’s no guarantee of success there, it’s major surgery that would require pediatric bone specialists).
Thus….I just returned back from Nouveau Prosthetics (I used to see Bobby from Manfredi Orthotics but they no longer take my insurance, wah). They’re going to call me back later on to tell me if I’m fully covered or not.
And we shall see what we shall see. As my mom adds….when we see it.
If you’re looking for a great Orthopedic surgeon, definitely contact Dr. Cunningham. He’s recently moved from Ani Orthopedics to his new location over on N. Beers Street. The office is warm and friendly and I can give my whole experience a "2 thumbs up!"; he is local to Monmouth county towns such as Holmdel, Hazlet, Middletown, Red Bank, Keansburg, Aberdeen, Keyport and more.
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling
