Jagger?

On a jubilant day like today, I feel like singing.  Songs that have come to mind are, "Wonder of wonders miracle of miracles" and "I'm singing in the rain!" and . . . whatever else has played on the radio for the past 8 hours here at WSU Clinic.

Today was a day of getting things done, exceeding expectations and having sore feet.

I seriously can't remember who I saw this morning.  Oh yeah.  New patient.  Speaks spanish.  Chris confirmed her for me last night at 9:15pm (I kept forgetting!) and she said she couldn't come in until 9:00am.  I figured it was better than nothing.  She actually came about 8:40am, so it was fine.  Her son came in to translate, poor kid was falling asleep.  Next time I am bringing him an iPod or something to play with.  Maybe a pillow.  Hello CALCULUS! It just never gets old!  This was probably more anterior lingual mandibular calculus than I have ever seen.  Prof. Hanson numbed her.  She did quite well, but she has sensitive teeth and what I think was some serious abfraction or toothbrush abrasioin.  2 Quads of a III on her.  :)

lunch was nothing to write home about, yet here I am writing about it.  Golden Crisp cereal that we had because Camden went to the store with G-ma yesterday and always brings home some kind of cereal.  Though my actual meal was weaksauce the hangout time with these gals is always rockin the house.

My pre-med man came back to me this afternoon.  I just love him.  We got right to probing and diagnosed a Class II, a real true blue class two.  He was a trooper.  I completed his entire mouth with the help of my orange triple bend, graceys and every freaking other instrument I could think of to get him clean.  We used some Oraqix, but for the most part he just toughed it out.  We got ALL DONE and only had ONE ERROR!  Miracle!  Then I also passed off my Selective Polishing with H-dawg.  Miracle!

-sidenote- Jamie just came and asked "What the heck did you get out of that guys tooth!"  She was helping me probe (HOLLA JAMIE!) and I was coming around from the buccal to the lingual of 18 when this soft, green, leafy looking thing was in my way.  I looked at it.  And looked at it.  And kind of played with it with my probe.  Then got it out and it was some of my pts lunch, or last nights dinner or maybe even last week's.  Who knows?  But we got it out and then sprayed some water down there which brought out a LOT more from his #17 extraction site from about a month ago.- 

Ah, going to sleep deep tonight.  Finally feeling like I am getting stuff done here in clinic.
