{ODs Galore}

Pretty much all I've done this past month is ODs.  Seriously.  I've only cleaned 4 quads.  Maybe I'll get to actually clean teeth one of these days.

Today I saw a really nice guy who I didn't know.  He was a 1B, and I got through 4 BWX (2 retakes) gah!, OD, and OHI.  I was SO hoping to be able to scale at least one quad, but no such luck.  I feel bad because he came up in December and just had a screening by my peer pal, had to come back today, and then a third time to finish him up.  He's coming next Monday for me to finish him.  I am determined to finish him!  He does have a few areas of moderate calculus, so I should be able to use my Ultrasonic!  Overall, today was pretty good.  I've been too hard on myself the past couple of weeks, and just need to relax and realize I'm learning, and all of these skills take time!

On Wednesday I'm seeing my friend Ashley who was my first pt. of the semester.  I need to scale all four quads and I better do it!  I'm hoping this appt. goes smoother than the last time she was in.  Last time I felt all flustered and forgot how to do just about everything.  I think I've improved a little since then, hopefully!

Now I need to study for another test. Boooooo!
