Arm troubles

For quite some time I have been having difficulty with one of the fundamental parts of ABA - lifting the kids beacuse I have irritated the elbow that I broke nearly 10 years ago. Something that really concerned me because Sharon said that if I couldnt do that then I wouldnt be able to work with kids in the long run. She was very understanding though, having a undergrad with me whenever I was working with one of the kids so that they could lift them back into their chairs when necessary and I could still work with them. Originally she was going to take me off the kids I was working with and train me on two that dont need to be lifted at all but she felt I was doing such a good job with my little 3 year old boy in particular that she decided on the undergrads instead. So on the 21st of November I went to see a specialist and get xrays done. I found out that during my original accident I had torn some cartilidge in my wrist which hasnt healed and has been aggravated into carpal tunnel. Now I have a wrist splint and 100mg of voltaren a day. It has helped but my arm is still sore and the elbow spasms occasionally which isnt fun. Having the support of the splint has helped me a lot with lifting the kids...just in time too because the kids have started cottoning on to the fact that I couldnt do it and it was starting to create problems during our sessions (so Ive been able to show them I can and things are good once more). I still have difficulty but things are finally improving.
