Today was my last day to be the operator on a classmate. Sarah was willing to let me torture her. I got here plenty early so I could set up and not be rushed. As I'm setting up my ultra sonic I couldn't get the tip to snap in. The TA came to help me and she got it in so I was ready to go. I was going to start the ultra sonic scaling but no water was coming out!! I was getting very frustrated! So I finally switched machines and I was all flustered because I didn't get started on time. I just needed to relax but it was frustrating. So I did the ultra sonic and then I went over and did the hand scale. She had areas where there was ortho cement so I couldn't get it off. I ended up finished with good time and only missed 2 areas around her lingual bar. Sarah was a good patient and I hope I didn't hurt her too bad.
Darin was supposed to be my patient on Monday but plans changed! He was playing basketball last night and got elbowed in the lip. He walked in the door and was dripping blood and said he needed to go to the ER. So long story short...he has 7 stitches in his lower lip and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't feel too good if I was stretching his lips. So I am going to have to bribe my sister to be my guinea pig. This semester is almost over! YAY!!!!
