Thanks for posting this.  I'll pray for him.  And look at my own cruddy little problems in a new light.

I wonder how he’s able to spray paint and get Dremel dust everywhere?

Very cool! Wishing him a speedy recovery and the best of luck!

My thoughts exactly. I don't know if he is spraying paint but I would guess that he is using acrylic paint for detailing.

I wish him well. Did I see him creating resin dust when cutting ? He should be wearing a mask.

I wish him well too! I just remember being in the hospital for over a week thinking how nice it would be to have some kits there to work on but never even thought to ask because it’s such a sterile environment.

Kinda been there....had a 10 day hospital stay....felt OK but needed hourly monitoring for some Meds. So I had my wife bring me some of those AMT pre-painted kits. Had to hide the X-acto cause I was in there for an infection and wasn't supposed to have anything like that around me.

Hope it works out for him....it did for me.

You have to make the best of your life, good on him!   Love this part:
