Frustrating

Today I basically on did an OD on a class 3. Don't get me wrong, it's exciting to know you have a class 3 but I felt like most of the day was wasted. I only did 2 vert bw and didn't even do a FM probe because of the extensive calculus deposits. So in all reality I only did hhx, OD (partial), 2 bw and OHI!!! I really don't want to have my patient have three appt's, even though my instructor thinks that I will need 2 more appt's to complete her. So my goal until Nov 4, my pt's next appt, is to really practice my exploring, ultrasonic, and hand scaling skills so that I can move through the appointment quickly. I'm really excited for her to come back. She'll probably want LA and by then we can administer it ourselves, under supervision of course. I'm looking forward to that. I just hope she comes and comes on time. Today she was 45 minutes late.
