Doing ok

I have been fooling around with backgrounds this afternoon and surely messed up some text and comment colors and don't know how to correct them and can't sit long enough to fool with it to find out. I should have let well enough alone LOL.
Yesterday I went back to my back doc and he was well pleased at how I am coming along. I can do my exercises without any pain and can walk down the street for around 10 minutes without very much trouble. I am not taking any pain meds now. The doc dismissed me for two months unless I have some trouble, in that case I am to contact him.
I am back into my old habit though of not sleeping well. I think I slept myself out when I was on so many meds.
I just pray that my back stops hurting soon. It has not quit yet but is a lot better since I first had surgery but am still hurting like I was before surgery. I am holding on though with faith that I will be a lot better soon.

Sorry that I didn't get any pretty fall pictures yesterday. The trip was rougher that I thought it would be plus no pretty leaf changes yet. I told Ken let's just come on home and not try to find any pretty colors yet.
Have a blessed night and weekend everyone.
Love to you all,
Helen

  2. i've been thinking about you and hoping you are having a speedy recovery. even though the doc is happy with your progress, it sounds like there's not much change prior to surgery. i hope and pray you will see a difference soon.

  6. Glad you're getting better Helen. I quite like the new look although I find the green comments slightly difficult to read.

  7. well, i was hoping for better news about your back. I'm glad the doc says you are doing well but i want to hear it hurts less after all you have gone thru!

    you are right it's hard to read with the dark colored background (or you need the font a brighter color.)

  9. I am glad your feeling better. I remember it taking awhile to feel better after my back surgery. Just take it a day at a time.

  12. Glad to read that improvement is coming, even if slowly. I know Pierre eventually experienced what I called a miracle with his back surgery which not only saved him the use of his right arm but eventually caused no more pain. I hope the luck of the good is with you and you will get better and better! Gerry

  14. Thanks for dropping by my Photo Hunt last week and leaving the link back here. I'm glad to know you're progressing after your back surgery and hope that continues. As for playing with backgrounds ... I had similar problems when I began blogging. Check out the LAYOUT section of Blogger, clicking on Fonts and Colors. From there you can select different colors for all the items listed at the left: text, post titles, links, visited, blog titles, blog description, sidebar ... plus you can change Fonts for: text, sidebar titles, blog titles, etc.
    Good luck ... and Happy Halloween ;--)
    Hugs and blessings,

  17. I'm glad to hear things are coming around nicely...recovery is just a pain, isn't it? (pun almost intended lol)
    Ole Boy and I went out yesterday, too, and I took maybe 4 pictures. I think the drought has hampered brillant colors this fall.
