Last VA Day of the Semester

Today was the day of the Hurricane winds...We risked our lives to get down to Salt Lake, and I am not joking. It was insane. Tipped over semi's everywhere! Other than that today was pretty normal, except for the fact that Sarah had a family emergency in the afternoon, and needed to get home, but Prof. McConaughy wouldn't let her leave because that would mean all 5 of us would have to leave because we drove together. Kinda sad. But what can you do. She makes the rules. My morning pt went great, didn't miss anything, he was a very sweet old man, and we had a lot to talk about. The afternoon however...a different story. It was like I have never cleaned a mouth in my life. Apparently I thought I did so well, and I thought I removed every piece of calculus in his mouth. Wrong. I missed sooooooooo many subg areas that Prof. M had Connie come in and finish because it was time to leave for the day. I have never felt so dumb and embarrassed in my entire life. How did I not know??? I didn't have any BWX to go off of, and I think that would have helped to see the actual bone level and the probable radiographic calculus. But regardless, I felt so ashamed. All the girls made me feel better, because they said that exact thing had happened to all of them. But it still is such a slap in the face when it actually happens to you. It makes me scared that I won't recognize calculus in mass subg amounts. And I feel like I don't know how to scale teeth. I just hope it was a baaaad day, and I will recognize it next time I run across it, and know how to handle it. What a way to end the semester...whaa-whaa.
