..another day in paradise. or something.

I survived another day in clinic.

I woke up with a sore throat and two stuffed nostrils, so that was SUPER awesome!

But. . I saw 3 patients today, whom I called the day before.

and it was a success, so I can't complain.

Too much.

(Don't ask me why I keep waiting until Monday to schedule my patients.  I am not

very stressed this year, and I just keep saying, "I'll find someone").

And somehow I always do.

 

I saw a very cute old man in the morning.

He had a crazy health history, and I got to pass off my blood-glucose PE on him.

He presented to me three quads of a class III.

He was missing multiple teeth, so I didn't get to count 4 quads, but I can live with that!

He had a lot of decay and lots of restorations and crowns, so that was tricky.

But, I only missed one spot in his mouth, so that was a good feeling!

Somehow I feel like I am starting to get a hang of this thing.

Or....maybe the mini graceys just saved my life :)

Anyway- so I finished him all up in one appointment.

 

The afternoon was a bit crazy.

I saw two very cute little boys: both 1A's.

They were great patients and I was able to do some sealants on the older one.

While being at Midtown lately, I have screened a lot of mixed-dentitions.

So, I feel like that has helped me a lot, and it was a breeze charting their mouths.

The best part of the appointment was when the older brother said,

"I'm so glad I got to skip school to come here!"

And then. . . . . . 30 minutes (ish) went by, and.....

We placed sealants which tasted yuckkkky. . and he said,

"I changed my mind.  I'd rather be in school than taste this stuff!"

I laughed so hard.  It was great.  Hopefully he wasn't too traumatized.

 

Today was a good day, all in all.

Except for this awesome headcold, flu, bronchititis coughing, feeling.

Not sure how I want to diagnose myself.

I kind of want to die.
