Saying Goodbye

I hate that part- Saying goodbye to friends/classmates/professors/midtown. Really breaks my heart!!! Hopefully life will bring them back around more often!

Sealant Clinic

AH! whooops- no kids brought permission slips! REALLY!!! This was free dental treatment 32 students (first years were there as well) AND no kids. I am sure Bossenberger was beside herself- to go through so much effort and it not work. We ended up doing clinic check out and finishing paper ! Where did the time go- never got to taking my test! Or finishing my PE project. Well 7 weeks till graduation day! Hope its done before then!

Last Day of Clinic-

Well I cleaned my board patient - it wasn't something I wanted to do til I got my results- but I have no idea when I would be able to finish his mouth like I had promised. Here is to hoping I did okay that day. Then my little chicklets came in! YAY! They did great. McKinley's baby tooth- wiggled out in my chair and Summit got his first cleaning! LAST DAY TO PAY FOR EVERYONE'S cleanings!!!!!! Oh well another $70. Add it to the 40,000!

Wreb- what the!?

Its been 4 weeks today! Still no wreb results. Seriously killing me!

Last VA day! I know your jealous aren't you!

Well again I am grateful for my health... patient with a heart transplant at age 25, been okay for the last 4 years. That is amazing! He looks grea

Boards- what was wrong with me?

I don't know about others - but my hand had its own mind that day- and shaking was its main priority. So I survived the written- without a heart attack- opening that envelop was torture. Then to get into the test and have a osseous contact- redirect- positve aspiration- new set-up and still pass the PSA. Wow! By the time I got to the IA I thought I was going to pass out. Amazing I passed that one too!
Friday for clinical I was a mess- really should have taken a valium. Pt showed- qualified 1st submission but wouldn't let me get him numb. I was so worried about hurting him I dont' know if I passed- won't know for two more weeks. Absolutely CRUEL!

Our new class Motto!!

STOP COMPLAINING AND KEEP WALKING ~Pam Carranza
Saying goodbye to our sweet Pam wasn't so easy- I have so many "wish I would have's" going on in my mind!
There is much to be said about the squeaky wheel getting the oil and wish it wasn't always that way. Our Pam never squeaked- never complained. How amazing she was and now knowing exactly how much pain she was in and the "back" pain wasn't just muscles but 3 fractures. All the while the cancer deteriorating her heart and lungs- so not fair. Her funeral was amazing in the sense that the speakers, her dad-her aunt-and her mentor hygienist. They talked of Pam perfectly and her dad related the story when Pam told him to stop complaining and keep walking. Way to go Pam! YOU will be missed but you will always be in our hearts for your courage and endurance! Save me a seat cause I know your where I hope I end up!
