…I didn’t realize that the publisher site had changed location. That is just because I am probably not computer smart enough to realize that it of course had moved. Oh well. This is just one day late and it could just about as well have happened today.
Ooooh…It was so hard to get out of bed this morning! Usually, I am an early riser-up with the sun. But not this morning. This morning my dear, sweet husband said to me, “Let me get you coffee this morning. You’re always so good to get it for me – so just stay in bed for a few minutes.”
So I did.
Our last patient of the morning was…well, she was 8 – too big to force to do things our way. The weird thing was that my assistant took x-rays just fine. Then I sat down to examine her teeth and she freaked out on me. Just started to sob. I hadn’t even looked. Mom couldn’t do anything; I couldn’t do anything. Finally they left, no work done. That is a wretched way to end the morning. Leaves me feeling like I did something bad to her, but honestly, I did nothing!!!
And this afternoon I saw my youngest patient. 5 days old today. A little armful of new life. I loved how her mom nestled her head carefully in the crook of her arm as I checked her little mouth. She had developed some sore spots under the little feeding appliance we made last week. Baby mouths are delicate. She’ll heal fast now that the appropriate adjustments are made. My reward I got to hold this precious little bit of a thing for a few minutes.

So, it sounds like I’m heading in to both the most stressful and rewarding job in the world? 🙂
I guess it is as stressful and as rewarding as you make it. Just got to keep all things in life in the proper perspective.
