torture....Having a break and then trying to get back into the groove should be easy but it is torture to me. I would rather not have a day off till I am done.. Just so when I am done I can push the off button for awhile. Rebooting this old lady takes a lot more energy!!!! I just want to go on vacation right now and stop processing information. Not that I don't love the program. My little brain can only hold so much information and unfortunately has a mental block I can't seem to get around. Dang these last tests are going to be rough.

Another day in paradise!
My hubby came in today as my FIRST real patient. He was very patient and kind, as he should have been:)!
Only a quad done. Although I think I could have done 3 in the time waiting for my first scale check. Thats okay-though! Didn't miss anything.
Angelic helped me understand alittle better how to classify. I am confused on actual boneloss that means perio instead of normal. OH well--that is what I am here for, to learn.
Fun to see everyone's family and friends. To see faces of people we talk and mention in our lives!
Tah tah--need to study for anatomy- scary!

I am wondering if my head is going to explode. I now have a permenant heart beat in my right ear. I haven't felt 100% for awhile but today...wow!
Kadee was another terrific patient. She seemed alot more uncomfortable this time around even though I felt I was much better today then last week. I hope it really was her teeth that have suscipious areas and not my cleaning. Poor girl--either way it makes me feel bad for her.
Well I felt a little more relaxed inside today. I even tried some different scalers.
So glad I passed off my sealant last week..one less stress.

HOLY Crap

I don't know how everyone seems so calm..when inside I am screaming. I wasn't as smooth as I was hoping to be. I struggled with probing quickly. I knocked over my TV tray with a loud crash. My papers went flying and pens too!
I was able to pass off my sealant today.
Kadee was a great great patient and very patient with me. OH GIRLS I hope I get faster ...4 quads in 30 mins? CRAZY
Oh well.. oh and the charting.. I probably take longer charting then treating. VERY ironic..

Another application of flouride. Varnish is not my favorite.

We learned how to sharpen. REALLY dislike that sound, as bad as fingernails on the chalkboard.

We were able to pass off powder polisher and flouride. I tried to practice scaling--what has happened. I feel like I have never even tried. Wish I would have practiced probing..Maybe next week!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Well another Monday has come and gone. Not to bad.

We each did a sealant, then passed off our selective polish PE, which was teaching TB technique-- which I thought was more in the OHI PE, but if you do the whole mouth I guess it would be a TB polish. It also involved the rc- aka rubber cup, also included the maintenance for the handpiece.

We are all a little scared for the powder polish day-- only because we don't want to get microdermed with salt all over our face! OH- the learning we do.

Can't believe its NOVEMBER! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Can't wait for Christmas break with my kiddos.
