{1B, and FMX}

What a day!  So, I had a little emergency on Saturday night.  I had my Class 2 pt. sched. this morning, so I called to confirm on Saturday night.  He gave me some story about how he needs to have his whole mouth cleaned this week so that he can get his lingual bar cemented.  He then told me that he won't be able to come back to see me.  Aaaaah!  So, long story short, I was able to find somebody on Saturday night.  He came in this morning, and was a 1B.  I couldn't do any x-rays though because his last set was in June.  Well, my goal coming into clinic was to finish the pt. if he ended up being a 1B.  I only got 2 quads done.  I got pretty down on myself, but even my instructor told me he was a tricky 1B because of his subgingival, interproximal calculus.  I missed a few spots, but it was a good experience for me to be able to remove that sub calculus.  Then, right at the end of clinic, Mr. Salomon came in wondering if somebody needed an FMX because a lady had just called wanted to get in.  So, I volunteered!  I called her and she said she would be here by 1:30.  By 1:45 she still wasn't here, but said she was just getting onto Hwy. 89.  By 2:45, she was finally here.  Phew!  I was getting really frustrated, because I have a TON of tests to study for.  She had a lot of teeth missing, so I only got to do 10 PAs, and 2 BWX.  So, now I only have to do 3 more PAs, and I'm done!  Yahoo!  At least I'm almost done with one of my requirements!
