It's been an absolutely fantastic morning so far, much to the girl's delight ...
I stole a few minutes for myself to run across the road, and now I'm all comfy in a shiny green & gold chair in a corner of the Gordonsville Library. I've had every intention of coming over here and making good use of the hi-speed which has become a rare thing in my busy little life of late.
The air was thick and cool this morning when I popped out of bed. I've no idea how I managed to do that considering the fact that I'd done a good deal of packing and rearranging things in my room until ... well, it was just a bit late. * winks *
But the room is looking a little less Fall-ish and a lot more Winter-ish {not Christmasy just yet, because I've already made an exception for Christmas music as it is. No, that will happen next weekend.} And I just felt strangely energetic when I kissed my daddy goodbye before he went to work. The rest of the family soon suffered the consequences of my cheerful, energetic mood and needless to say they weren't entirely ... enthusiastic? * winks *
Before I left, all the munchkins were up, but no time to fix my boys anything crazy wonderful and scrumptious. They kissed me and grunted their goodbyes, and I expected nothing less from my sleepy siblings.
It was a gorgeous morning, it really felt like Fall which made me so ridiculously happy on account of my thinking I'd been jipped this year after those two small snows just weekends apart. In fact the sky even looked sunnier and beautiful than it had yesterday. I wanted to take a picture of the amazing Sunrise with my camera phone, but alas the girl was driving and is quite the fan of being alive!
Our patients ended up showing earlier than expected which was so awesome, mainly because Johnna is teaching me how to be prepared ahead of time ~ being one step ahead of Jay. It just makes the world a much better place when everything is in order and going so impossibly smooth you second guess yourself and get to stand around in the hallway almost bored to death because you're just WAITING. * smiles *
I assisted in my second Oral Surgery ever and let me tell you, the girl was so nervous. After last week's little episode and not feeling so very hot yesterday morning, I was beginning to wonder if maybe I just wasn't cut out for this sort of thing. And I really wanted to do this, so I was pushing myself today to get ready for it.
Almost twenty minutes later, I'd made small talk with the patient and got him comfortable. Dr. Jay had numbed him and we were ready to go ... I held my breath as I pulled the mask over my mouth. You can do this, you can do this! I told myself, and right about then I began to pray and felt such an overwhelming sense of peace steal over me.
By the time Dr. Jay slid his rolling chair over to the patient, I was almost thrilled to start. What a weird transition, hmm? So I pulled my gloves on and thus began the second oral surgery of my entire life. I waited for the hot | cold prickly sensation, the nausea to overtake my senses. It never came, and within a matter of minutes the whole thing was over.
Jay did look at me before the patient got up and asked if I was good. I'm pretty sure I grinned in relief, "Yep, I think so."
So the whole morning went like that and I'm just really happy and thankful and so forth, etc. Now its back to the Dentist Office I go for round two of Oral Surgeries and Crown Preps. At the moment, I sit there in silent fascination while Jay explains this and that to me. Little do these people know they get to sit in and witness a whole Dental Assisting Lesson! * haha *
