I miss blogging a bit though because it was an excuse to journal. Maybe I should get back into it??? I don't know. I especially love having a place to go into more depth with what's on my heart even if nobody ever reads this blog. It's still a place for me to put some thoughts or life updates in writing - and I like that.
Speaking of updates... I work 2 or 3 days a week now as a dental assistant for an office in Provo. I think it's the perfect amount of hours for me and I absolutely love what I do. It also helps that everyone I work with is super easy to get-along with. I really think I found my dream job. Ha ha ha!
Tonight, I got called into work to help after-hours. The dentist I work for texted me asking if I'd come help him with surgery for a friend of his daughter's wisdom teeth. His son was there watching because he's in pre-dental school. I always find the extractions very fascinating -especially the ones where we have to make incisions and I can see straight to the jaw bone! Dr. called his son over during the surgery to take a closer look and watch the procedure. His son nearly passed out from the sight and had to lay down. I guess it never bothers me at all, especially like that.
I started my job almost five months ago, I have learned so much. I can assist with just about any procedure now; crowns, root canals, implants, gingival scans, extractions, fillings, etc. I love setting up and taking down the operatory, wearing latex gloves, cleaning /sterilizing instruments, and typing up clinical notes, I love it all!
I was a dental assistant before I ever had kids back when I was 21 or 22 and I liked doing it then but it is so much better now for some reason. I think I feel more confident than I did when I was in my early 20's and I love the littlest things in life more than I did then.
So, that's a very small update..... Perhaps I'll post here more just for the sake of recording....
