I did it! I saw my first, real live, not hygiene student, patient!!

Today was great!  I was able to see my very first patient! I won't lie, I was terrified and I am thrilled that it is over with.. but I did it!  I was supposed to have my husband or my parents come in, but that didn't work out so well. So my husband had mentioned to a lady that he works with that I needed a patient.  Well she just happened to need a cleaning and has no insurance so she was the perfect candidate!  I was so grateful to her for coming in for me, and the funny thing was she was so thankful to me for having her in!  Probing I still feel a little iffy on.. x-rays were pretty much a downer today.. but I made it through!  I think she is still willing to come back too and let me finish cleaning her mouth.. so I guess I couldn't have done too awful! ;-)
