Happy Halloween!

Today at Midtown we celebrated Halloween which was a good time- I was able to scale a class 2 patient and i did TERRIBLY!  It was not good. Not fun.  Not anything.  I wanted to go home and never pick up a scaler again.  I missed so many spots and I realized AFTER that I had the wrong ultrasonic tip and it was barely doing anything.  So my instructor busted out the BIG guy and set me off to work again.  It removed pretty much everything I'd missed-- how embarassing!  But in the afternoon I redeemed myself and cleaned a Class V.  Thank heavens I didn't miss any spots on her- I really need to think of each patient differently and clean them according to the mouths they present with.  I will never make that mistake.  Again.
