My Santa sleigh gravity swing has hit a few bumps. This one is going to take me much more time than expected. After 16 days of fighting this infection in my elbow with antibiotics, the doctors have decided to put me in a splint which I can remove thankfully when I shower. They just want to keep my elbow restricted from movement for as long as possible in order for the wound to heal where the Bursa sack burst and drained. They did send me home with a nice little care package and more antibiotics. Yes. I will continue to paint every single little piece

Take care @Nita_Davis . I wish you a speedy recovery. Despite your elbow infection you still make brilliant work through your build. Your painting is always looking great.
Take care. I wish you a speedy recovery

Thank you very much @Tricia12 . I appreciate your kind words and I hope that this next round of antibiotics does the trick. The splint has really changed a lot about my movement so it is what it is. I will be in the splint for 2 weeks so it will be a bit of a challenge

Yes there are. @Nectarines . Even despite the inconvenience of the splint, this one is a bit tougher than I expected with so few pieces

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope this passes quickly as well @JDisaduck
Oh no, that sounds really painful! I hope your elbow heals quickly and that the rest helps you recover soon. Take it easy — your build can wait, and it’ll look amazing when you get back to it, @Nita_Davis! 
Maybe you need a break from building and take some rest with the splint. I hope you get well soon.
Take care, I hope you have a fast and safe recovery in your elbow! Your builds aren’t going anywhere, health comes always first 
I won’t just stop building completely but the process will be very slow going @Jerry_Boswijk
Thank you @ThaoNguyen
You’re welcome

I hope you get well soon! At least you have your kits to help get you along 
Thank you very much @Liset . I made a major mistake yesterday and suddenly realized that I didn’t put my steel ball in the little cage. Maybe I shouldn’t be puzzling like this. Things take so long to do that I forget the next step.. LOL. Tonight I will be back tracking and pulling apart pretty much the whole sleigh to get that dang marble in there.

Ohhnoo! I think it is hard to build with one hand. Hopefully you can pulling apart the build quickly and place the dang marble. Good luck, you can do this
