So I've been at my office for 3 weeks now. I've gotten the hang of most of the computer stuff, sterilization and questions pre-op. I'm still working on the important stuff chairside. I seem to do well with Dr. Behnen and I'm a bit scared of Dr. Goerig. I seem to get along with all the other dental assistants and I'm working on the office staff. But so far I feel like I'm doing good but should have already had a few things down that I'm still struggling with.
The week following my trip to Whistler, I had this horrible cough. So much so that I had to take this Monday off. Since I took it off I went to the doctors because when I usually have a cold or flu where I cough it only lasts about 3 days at most. And this was going on 2 weeks. Turns out I had a pretty bad sinus infection. I also wanted to know why I was feeling so drained and fuzzy all the time. Someone suggested to check my thyroid. So I had blood work done to check that and to see if I was anemic. I found out Yesterday that I will be on meds for hypothyroidism and need blood work again in 2 months. The joy of the past couple weeks. For now I'm still a bit laggy when it comes to thought processing and speaking but I'm hoping I get back to normal soon.
Aside from that, still working at Dish and that puts me at roughly 50+ hours working and schooling. I swear this is probably why I have health issues. Once the year is over I can finally relax, hopefully!!
