First Patient day

Today was out first patient day.  I was pretty nervous the closer it got, however, it went more smoothly than I expected.  I didnt have to redo everything because my patient was my patient from November.  So it was pretty much straight to scaling.  I am very slow at this but I know I will get faster with time.  I am trying to be really positive and have faith in myself.  I am a little tight fisted and have the death grip on that instrument so I really have to conciously think about it to stop.  I was happy I made it through and am looking forward to getting faster and better.  Over and out.
