Today started off fine, but the whole morning sucked. I had clinic today and my patient came in on time. I had everything set up the day before and felt nervous the whole time. I felt like I was able to do well. We were doing a #12 MOD with Composite. Things were not as smooth as I wanted and I realize I need a lot of work with the 3-way and HVE. I started instrument transfers well, along with the topical and anesthetic. But after the patient was anesthetized, I just lost my confidence and started muffing up. I really do think I may have just been unstable just because it wasn't SAM or Wally. We got through the procedure okay until it came time to put the matrix and wedge. The tooth lost so much structure that the buccal fractured and broke off. We ended up having to do a buildup on the whole tooth. We put a screw and just set up a good amount of composite. I was not as freaked out but near the end I started getting back into a groove. The rest of the day went by just fine except I didn't have much of a lunch and my workout went a bit too hard.
Other than that I have $4 to my name until the 15th.
