First Day Back

When I woke up this morning I was so nervous for today, but when I sat down and  picked up my instruments most of my skills came right back.  I actually had a great day.  Second year is wonderful and the instructors are awesome!  My first patient I saw was a 1B and I did x-rays and did half of her mouth.  I used my new instruments, which was a lot of fun.  I also got to use the ultrasonic on some mandibular anterior lingual calculus.  I forgot how fun it was to watch the calculus fly off.  I learned several nice ways to fulcrum from Instructor Would.  I felt like everything she said just clicked with me.  In case anyone who is reading this cares... my afternoon went even better.  I saw a Class 5 patient and was able to finished everything.  That's right, everything!  To top it off my patient was a lot of fun to talk with and made sure that it was stuck in my brain that I need to give her a call in January for her next cleaning.  Don't you love reliable patients? 
P.S. - Extra oral fulcruming is great.  I wish we learned more last semester.  So, all in all today was great.
