Feeling Guilty, Personal Journey Part IV

It's been awhile since I've posted and need to catch everyone up on what's been going on. For starters, reviewing my previous posts I wonder why I ever decided to post obituaries. I guess it's a reminder to myself that cancer is a serious condition. I also have been a big NASCAR fan for many years and wanted to give some kind of tribute to Benny and Bobby as they both played large roles in making the sport what it is today.

My guilt arises from the fact that my personal journey has been nothing short of miraculous and I've failed to share the great progress I've made with visitors to this site. My two month follow-up CAT scan showed that the mass in my lung, which at one time was 11cm in diameter has shrunk on it's own to a size of 3mm. I can only attribute this to the many people that have been praying for me. As far as my recovery from the triple by-pass. I'd have to say I'm very close to a 100% and continue to exercise daily, weather permitting and can't wait for spring so I can begin to start getting fresh vegetables from the local farmers market. It's tough on the wallet getting the produce my diet requires during these winter months.

If you happen upon this blog, don't hesitate to leave a comment or just say hello. Sometimes you feel like your talking to yourself when you bang away on the keyboard as a blogger.

To my Fair God Tweaker :)

Hi there. Thanks for visiting my site and more importantly, leaving a comment. I checked out your other blogger site and was most impressed. I don't remember how I found your blog (most likely via someone else's) but I'm more than happy to add your blog and others to my site. We need to strengthen the cancer blog community.

I really appreciate the recommendation for fixing my blog. I reduced the number of posts displayed as you recommended so that my page will upload faster for slower connections.

I, however, changed (temporarily under preview) the elector named #content to 750px, which according to IE 7 did bring the posts up to the top of the page, but the other annoying problem that I have with IE 5-7 is that on the sidebar the sub categories indent and shorten incremently as you scroll further down the page. I don't know why this happens. I wish all the sub categories would line up vertically as is the case with Firefox. Basically, my problem is that I'd like my blog when viewed with IE 5 - 7 to look like it does with Firefox, which is perfect.

In looking for a solution, I found this at the Blogger Forum: http://www.bloggerforum.com/modules/xoopsfaq/index.php?cat_id=8#26
But it's confusing and I don't know if this is the right solution to my particular problem.

Any ideas? If you could help me solve this that'd be awesome.

Stay well and looking forward to your response.
Duane
