3rd Patient First appointment 1/23/12

Goal: Complete 4 BWs, and 2 Quads, and 2 PEs

I had such a hard time getting my patient to confirm her appointment over the weekend for today and had a bad feeling today was going to be bad.  Well my gut feeling was right.  My patient actually did confirm but then cancelled her appointment 1 hour before clinic started which made for a scramble.  I was able to call my mother-in-law to see if she was willing to come (I prepped her that weekend).   She said she would but was a little worried about getting lost on campus.  One good thing about having an unemployed husband, he was able to drive her up here.  We decided that weekend to work on our kitchen counter tops and redo them.  He was hard at work to finish up some of it then he needed to prep for class that night.  Well I ruined his whole plan for that day.  HE thought I was only going to be an hour in clinic today so he didn't get any studying done for class and was scrambling after clinic was over... AWFUL!  While I was waiting for them to arrive (1 hours later) I was able to pass off my sharpening PE.  Anyway, my mother-in-law comes in with a little anxiety (who doesn't have a little doing something new).  I tried to be professional and treat her well.  I was able to get 4 BWX and 1 Pano.... with issues of course.  When it rains it pours.  I had to retake 3 BWX and the Pano touched her shoulder, so I had to retake that as well.  The rough part about that it all of them were conventional which meant a lot of developing :(  Dang it!  Such a time waster.  By the time I needed to walk her out, I was able to complete her full Hx, HHx/Rx, and OD.  I wasn't able to get to the OHI which was a blessing for her that she didn't even know about.  Oh well. I survived an awful clinic and get some x-rays to go toward my requirements.  Thanks to her!  She has been such a blessing in our lives this month.  She has saved us with dinner many times and now Clinic!  Wow What a Woman!
