Feeling Accomplished

Today I was able to complete a prophy cleaning, flossing & fluoride on a patient who has a HUGE gag reflex- anything even touches his tongue & he gags. Add that he is slightly autistic & I'm seriously happy we were able to do so much :) Now I know that doesn't seem like much to anyone who isn't in the dental field, but seriously, the kid did great :) and next time he comes in he'll do even better, I just know it :) Love little miracles and progress like that.

I am accomplished!

Yesterday was a spectacular day as far as getting things done.
I headed down to Mount Pleasant at eight in the morning, to make my 9 am appointment with the physical therapist. A great guy by the name of Ben... I want to say Robinson. He works for Therapy West and when I started seeing him back in October I was in A LOT of pain. A car accident back in August only set on edge what had been becoming a problem for a few months before the incident. Therapy West has a few offices and while I have not been to any but the Mt Pleasant one, I have to say the people there really know how to take care, and care about, the people they work with. Anyway, got there, and since everything looked hunky-dory with a month (give or take a few days) between my last visit and now, I was able to be released with a clean bill of health. YAY!!!! And I even got a free t-shirt to prove it!
Then ran home, grabbed a few things Sam had forgotten and wanted me to send to him (camera, wet suit etc,) our 'love plant' my aunt gave to us (with the strong admonition to never let it die) that was rather rapidly deteriorating due to the lack of attention it was recieving with us always being gone, mail and food.
Headed over to fax one of Sam's bosses info that she needed, ran down to Ephriam to visit a good girl friend and picked up a turkey in Moroni on my way to Nephi to pick up my sister from school at 2:50.
Then came home and worked out on the Wii for about 45 minutes. Go me!
Today has been significantly less note-worthy, just mostly lazed around, took a nap, worked out in the Wii again, mailed away a package someone had bought from us on Ebay, and made Stir-fry. Which, if it had been from a package I wouldn't feel even half so proud of the adventure. But it was honest-to-goodnessly (I don't know that that's a word, but if it's not, now it is :D) HOMEMADE. From scratch. And tomorrow I get to cook my first turkey.
Yay for learning!
I know it might appear like I'm braggin myself up, but honestly, what's wrong with being happy about accomplishing lots?
