Hip Hip!

Today was sweet.

I was able to bring both of my class II's back in to get finished (ish).

...sidenote: i'm continuing blogging, because I want a record of all of these fantastic days :)

Like a journal from school :)

(basically, so one day I can laugh at "the hygienist I once was..")

Anyway!

So my 8:00 pt was the sweetest older woman. . Her husband just had a stroke and it was so nice that she could confide in me and I could ask how he (and she..) were doing.

I love hygiene because we don't just clean teeth.

We build friendships and trust with our patients, and we can be a listening ear.

Anyway- I finished her all up in a jiffy and didn't miss any spots. phew!

Then: my second pt. was supposed to come in at 10:00.

Yep: she showed up at 10:25 and I didn't get to scaling until 10:30.

**Walk out is 10:45, mind you**

Anyway- I was a speed demon and got one quad done on her in the time allotted.

So- she'll have to come back. again. dang-- too bad she was late.

Oh well- that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes :)

 

Then: we had lab in the afternoon where we learned how to push ppl around in wheelchairs and other fun stuff.

:)

We learned how to use the velscope, and more about accessory fulcrums.

It was a chill, fun, nice, easy, day.

So glad the semester is almost coming to an end, and that I don't have to worry about requirements anymore, since Midtown requirements count.  PHEW!

I love hygiene.

A lot.
