A Day In the Shoes of A Patient

It was my turn today- I got to be the patient. I was looking forward to it because it meant three hours of laying there doing nothing. It was a good break. Ashlee worked on me and we'll say we lived by the motto "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". Don't get me wrong she did a great job but just as I did to her we caused our hearts to beat in places we have never felt (our gums) and we both may need a blood transfusion due to large amounts of blood lost. Haha but in all seriousness she did a great job and it was good to feel how it feels to be worked on so I know what my patients go through. Lucky for Ashlee I had some calculus built up on my fixed lingual bar so she got to dig at that for a while. You would think being in the hygiene program and all I shouldn't have such a thing as calculus but I do! I'm one of those blessed souls who builds it with ease. So no need to be embarrassed it was just a favor to Ashlee- I'm such a kind person. Overall today was great! I really do love my class and so glad that we are all in this together. Although it may be oozing with blood I'm smiling :)
