Surgery and Writing

My surgery is over with.  I'm not bouncing back very well.  I still have lots of pain and a new batch of pills in hand to help.  One positive note is that I'm having time to work on my writing.  I really feel  useless at this point, unable to take out the trash, run to the gym for a workout and do other errands in town and the list goes on.  I was just awakened from a sound sleep on the couch, my usual resting and sleeping place for now.  The phone woke me.  Presently, I'm home alone.  I would love to have a comment on my blog to know somebody is thinking about me.
My revisions on The Forever Bond for my part are done and need typed in.  I've worded a synopsis as well.  Unfortunately, my hip pain prevents me from sitting at the computer for very long at a time.  I'm thankful there are nine followers to my blog and an occasional viewing.  I would be incredibly grateful if someone would comment.  Needless to say I've not felt like doing much of anything right now.  My wife, Sue, has lots of people depending on her right now and if she ever gets down a lot of people are going to realize just how useful she is and how taken for granted she is, with me at the top of the list.  Our grandson, Townes, is going to be with his "Papaw" for this weekend and I'll really miss him.  He's six years old and is living with us.  I've gotten him interested in chess to go along with his other interests.  I thought I'd include one of my images I paid for regarding chess for an eye catcher for you.
Your comments would be most welcomed.  Sorry for a double post of this lovely chess player.  I've tried to eliminate one of the images but am unable to.

New face for blog

Thanks to Miss Mae who commented in kindness about my purple background being tough on the eyes.  I've changed that as you can see.  Hopefully, this will help.  I've still not done much with my website which has the domain name of http://www.larryhammersley.com and I hope to do something with that or pay someone to do it for me.  I certainly ought to get busy on it as I'm paying for the domain name.
On the writing front, I'm still proceeding on my new science fiction novel, The Silver Dart.  I've not reached 40,000 words yet.  On my novella The Forever Bond I'm reading through it again and will submit it to Wild Rose.  My recent novel submission, A Reason For Rescue was rejected by them.  Hopefully, I can determine another submission site for that one as I believe in it.  A lot of research went into that novel.
Also, I'm trying to construct a youtube for my ebook novel, Higher Mission.  Sadly, that novel isn't doing very well.  At least two author friends have downloaded it I believe.  Those are Anne Patrick and Gail Pallotta.  Thanks, Anne and Gail.  Someone else may have too and I apologize if I've missed you.  I gave a copy away via Amazon on Linda Weaver Clarke's blog interview and it went to Regina Andrews (Gina).  Thanks to Gina for the nice review.  Burst Books still has it at a reduced price of three dollars, I believe.
Your thoughts and prayers are welcomed for my upcoming surgery April 10.
