My pt. didn't come again

I have had really bad luck with pt. coming and coming on time. It makes it a little stressful. Luckily my husband was able to come up again and I was able to finish him. I started an hour and a half late, but was able to accomplish three quads. I feel pretty good, but it is hard to deal with pt. and how you can't control them at all.

I was late

Well on Monday I had a stressful day. First my pt. cancelled and I had to find a new one. I needed to pick up my patient though and they couldn't leave right when I would have. Then it started snowing and we got delayed so I was pretty late. I just said to myself you can only get done what you can so it is okay. Well I took x-rays adn probed adn even scaled the entire mouth. It actually worked out really well. I felt pretty good. I stayed calm and everything was alright.

I finished a whole pt

I am so excited I actually finished an entire pt. today even with x-rays and health history and everything. I felt like it went really well. I was even going to do sealants and had time to but then the teeth were sticky. Oh well at least she was finished and I feel good about it.

X-rays

I am so mad at myself. Today my day was going really well and I thought I was doing great. My pt. was here I was going right along then, I went to take x-rays. I was taking digital x-rays and forgot to put the lead shield on. Then instructor Vining came back and noticed and so I put the lead shield on for the rest of the x-rays. I didn't know what would happen unitl the day was over. If you don't put the lead shield on then you fail those x-rays. I am so mad at myself and I hope and think I will never do it again. At least it wasn't a full mouth. It is just frustrating. You are thinking you will have a great day and then you fail part of it. It burst my bubble. Oh well.

AAAHHHH

Fisrt of all fo today I had a pt. until last thurs then my pt cnacelled so I scramble to find one and found a family member who would come. Then I found a different pt. Well so i thought when I got to clinic my pt didn't come I called and there was no answer. So in a rush I called my husband and he was able to come up. He got here late, but it still went well. I didn't take x-rays but he had bitewings in May. I was able to get everything else done and scale one quad. I survived.

NEW SEMESTER

Today I thought I was going to throw up. I was so nervous for some reason. Everything was making me sick. I couldn't get myself to calm down, but after the clinic started I felt a little better. I am still nervous, but I think I will live. I am not really excited though to do the homework thing again. I needed a little bit longer break so I felt bored and that homework would keep me busy. I will make it through though I just need to take it one day at a time and tell myself that.
