Today my friend came back in and I finished her lower arch. It was pretty easy and I made great time, didn't miss any spots either! Yay! They started playing volleyball and she was telling me about that a little. I miss it so bad! Some nights it was hard to step away from school and everything I had going on but I was so glad I did at the end of the day! It was a huge stress reliever for me and great exercise. I told her to let me know if they need a sub too. I could just stay in c-town and play then drive to school the next day. It's a little close even too so that makes it nice. I can sleep in a little longer.

So this was the first time that my patient canceled on me. His ride called and said she was sick and really sweet about it, but finding a patient was nerve racking. I ended up going to the front desk of the clinic and a couple had just left saying that they wanted to get in. So I snatched them up and Kayla took the husband so they both were able to come in together. But the story gets better... They were second year students' patients. Ugh! So me and Kayla called them personally to make sure it was okay and they were fine with it, but I felt sick about taking them. Grateful that the second year students were okay with letting us taking them. Phew! They happen to be classifications that are hard to find so that make it even better. It was a challenge though. This was the first patient that didn't speak fluent English...it was tough to try to communicate and do OHI but I made it thanks to Mark! He was a life saver!
