About LinkBacksGlad your father pulled through. And if dadinstein is wrong then so were my thoughts when I first say my bald girlfriend after her brain surgery with electrodes coming out of her skull! Sometimes we just can't control it lolOriginally Posted by Frankie's Girl
Just wanted to do a quick post to say that I haven't forgotten this project... just had some unexpected horribleness lately.
My dad had a heart attack on Father's Day, an emergency double bypass and I had to drop everything and fly to Kentucky (home state). He's doing fine now, long road to recovery ahead, but fine. (whew!) and I'm hopefully going to be able to get back home this weekend.
Is it wrong that I think his chest staples look really cool and keep thinking of painting him green? Dadinstein!

Sorry for the angle, couldn't get it to turn.
The painting in the frame, the DaveintheGrave eye mechanism attached, and I know how I'm going to place it on the wall, with drapery and a skull head finial at the top.
And my dad is doing really really well. He got released from the hospital last week, and may be cleared to drive next week and is staying with my sister until then.
