Fun Days!

Today I saw Jason, and it was great to catch up. I was thinking this whole time that he would be a class 1B, and what do you think, he was a 2. It turned out great for me! So I am getting closer! I also finished my class 3 today, and that was fun! Looks like I will get all my requirements after all!

Thanks to last minute cancellations

Well a great thing happened this week. My class 4 called in to schedule an appointment and luckily I was able to see him this week. However, I only finished one quad because he couldn't stay the entire time. So, I did what I could and scaled one quad. It was rough, but we made it through! I also saw a class 5 this morning and that went very well. So, getting closer to finishing my requirements! Yeah!

Boards

YEAH!!!!! I passed! Halelujah! What a relief to be finished with two boards! I am so happy that I passed that I just can hardly believe it! Shandee, Shaniel and I all studied last week together and it is a good thing that we did cuz I don't know if I would have passed if we hadn't studied together. The test was pretty difficult. I was quite surprised when I opened my packet and read the first question. I knew it was going to be difficult. I combed through my answers carefully and reread them twice before I turned in my exam. While we were waiting for the results, I was so nervous. I counted up the questions I didn't know and there were 12. Borderline for how many you can miss. Then the examiners put the envelopes out and let us check our results. I opened mine fast and lo and behold it said I passed! Amazing! Only Heavenly Father knows how I passed! I know I had help in there.
Well after that I had until 4 til I did the clinical. So Jim and I went home and relaxed. Luckily I was able to take the exam around 2, so we went in and set up, and the examiners were so relaxed. It was great. I did the injections and I had my window up, my angles correct and my rate was ok. I passed! I started to cry I was so excited. I called mom and dad and they took us out to dinner to celebrate. It was great! And I'm so glad it's over!

Finally some Perio

I got three quads of a 3 today, and 4 quads of a 2. Yeah! How exciting! I hope I can find everything else I need. So far I am in desperate need of class 4's. I really don't want to call my good friend, 'Mr. Cancellation' if I don't have to, but it doesn't look very promising that I will find another patient with that much bone loss and calculus. So, I'll keep praying. Whatever happens, happens.
