Computer Problems

So my computer was messed up.  Apparently, half of the computers were going crazy in the clinic the day before.  Unfortuately for me... my computer stayed that way.  It keep on freezing... I couldn't exit, log out, print my tx plan or walk out, edit anything.  After shutting it down, I couldn't log into another computer b/c I was still log into my crazy computer.  With all the time I spent on that crazy machine, and w/ the help of Mr. Soloman and Stephanie, it took me an hour away from my time.  Imagine all the things I could do in an hour.  I could of scaled my 1B pt w/ OD and x-rays.  It so happened to be one of those days.  I'm still struggling on posture, and the instructors are really pushing it on me.  After several minutes, they come back and straighten my back/neck.  I'm trying, but I just don't feel comfortable.  As always, my goal is to work on my posture and exploratory strokes.

Lab Day

Lab day was educating.  I learned that many people don't like getting poked in the finger, which is so sad.  No one should get poked in the finger.  I'm use to it b/c I donate blood every 8 weeks, and go to the doctor once in a while.  I was very depressed that I have a "suspicious lession", but fortunately, I can remineralize my tooth.  Maybe I should brush my teeth 2 times a day... but mornings are so hard.  Denture cleaning looks easy.  Best part is that we got to eat in clinic... which is not aloud in the clinic:)... and we got out early:)

Happy Val Day

So... I was able to finish my class 2 pt in 2 hours... and I was able to finish 2 quads of my 1b.  That makes a grand total of 6 quads.  That made my day.  A few suggestions... don't put your chart in your lap.  I get a habbit to look at the probe depts from my lap... big no no.  Also, the ca's were so excellent to help me tear down and set up for my 2nd pt.  Thank you, thank you.  Last, Do Not Rush.  You might forget something.  So, my goal is to work at my cloak positions and great posture. 

no show

My pt called me the morning of and couldn't come in b/c she had 4 sick children.  That is understandable.... b/c you don't know when you have sick children until the morning before school.  I called several girls, but no one could come in.  After 2 hours, I called my peerpal, and she was able to come in.  Thank goodness for peer pals.  The OD took 30 minutes b/c she was recording them in her chair.  If all fails... call your peel pal.  Stephanie and I made this agreement that I would pay her 5 cents everytime she catches w/ me w/ wrong posture.  I really want to get the correct posture and not compromise it... so that is my goal.

1B finished

I'm so happy that I got to finish my first 1B!  My other pt who was a Class 2 cancelled yesterday.  Fortunatley, there are good people in the world who would fill in the last minute.  I took my time, and only had 2 areas.  Ins Vining was helpful to help improve my direct vision by moving my clock position.  So, that is my next goal.... to improve my vision w/o compromising my posture.  Every instructor has caught me, but I have not caught myself.  So.... I need to work on my position.  My words are so mixed up in my words... and my brain... Fortunately... it am able to understand scaling.  Ins Vining is so good... I feel so bad for making awkward faces at him.

Yea for 1b

Wed mornings are hard to schedule appts.  No one is willing to wake up early in the morning... especially if it is really really cold outside.  I went to my cousins house this weekend, and I was able to fill all my Wed mornings... b/c they are early risers for most of them.  It was strange enough... my cousin saw her month and wanted to changes in her OH.  She is also a clincher, so I took some intra-oral camera shots.  She was amazed.  Apparently, she wants me to bring a mirror so she can look inside my mouth.  It is a whole different environment when you have family in your chair.  I doing better on my posture... well see about scaling.  My goal is to not forget the minor things on charting... just mindless things.... I seem to forget.
