Clinic Day

Sure seems like these clinic days come fast from week to week.  I found my class 4 today and am happy about that.  I found out today how strong the tongue can be.  Wow, that must be the strongest muscle in the body, no matter what I did I couldnt tame that thing.  It was kind of frustrating and I was exhausted from fighting with it for 3 hours.  The patient didnt want to be numb today but I talked him into it for next time and hopefully that will make the appointment a little smoother.

First Mockboard Of The Semester

Well as if coming to the first mockboard the day after a long weekend isnt enough, my patient cancelled. I wasnt able to find anyone so I just had my stepdad come in so I would have a patient in the chair.  Well he ended up qualifying, I was shocked and oh so happy! So it ended up being a good day and I passed and I am glad its over. 1 down 2 more mockboards to go!

First VA Day Back

Today was my first VA day since being back to school.  It turned out to be a very good day.  One of my patients was done before he got in the chair, however he was really trying to be nice.  It was interesting to see though how quickly some of the patients are irritated and a real learning experience to try to keep him calm so I could at least do something.  I havent had a real easily irritated patient, this was my first one.  I am pretty tired today, my back and my hand are killing me.  Home to a massage and a little R&R, hopefully.

Tueday

Well my patient cancelled again today, I dont know what is going on this semester.  I guess it finally came around to me cause I have had pretty good luck so far.  I did get a new patient for today thank goodness they were class 5s.  Man do I need some class 3s. I am severely delinquent.  Hopefully, like Professor Alexander was saying, the hygiene gods will find me.  Tomorrow is VA, It'll be good to get back.
