grateful for a backup!

The night before this appt i was totally stressing and about in tears as i frantically called all of my pts to see if anyone could come in the next morning.. My class 3 pt wasn't going to beable to show and it was totally unexpected. I was so so so grateful when at 10 o'clock at night, i was able to get a hold of a pt who would beable to come in. The best part was that he was RIGHT on time, brought his wife (who is another of my pts and who talked to me during his tx) and they were SUPER excited about learning ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the mouth.. they loved that buccal is like buckle it is the front of the tooth... funny.. because of missing teeth he only ended up counting for 3 quads-i didn't need any of them, but i was grateful for the experience. I missed lots of spots of calculus and Prof. Costley really helped me to feel and remove them.. She is good at this and i really want to learn a lot from her. One thing is when exploring, i need to roll that tip right into the col and use ONLY the tip to feel-it's better that way..
