Field Work

I led my first group last week. A couple of interesting things happened. First, we flew through all of my activities. We planned a cooking activity, teeth brushing and a collage activity. We completed all of the activities in an hour and a half. I did not think we would get everything done in two hours. These clients surprise me in many ways. Second, I saw my first injury. A client with CP injured his thumb by constant involuntary flicking against his fingers. He came to the board to put his picture on the board and I could see that he was bleeding. It looked very painful, but he seemed more interested in the collage and getting his picture up. One of the regular staff took him to see the nurse. Overall, it was a good afternoon.
