Sad Days

Today southern Utah is supposed to get snow. It is not 5:12 pm and all we have had is rain. I am not sure when the snow is coming but I was actually looking forward to it. It makes me feel more Christmasee when there is snow falling. I am struggling feeling the spirit this year. I don't know why. I thought a little snow and drive through the neighborhood to see the lights would put me in the mood but alas there is no snow. I hate feeling like a Scrooge! But today I feel like why do we need presents? I have enough crap sitting around my house and I truly do not need more. I don't want any gifts but I know I will receive some and therefore need to get some for them. What am I going to do? I have listened to Christmas music and it has not helped-it fact it is doing the opposite...making me hate the season. To top it off I get to speak in my church in 2 weeks about neighborly love. This is impossible to feel neighborly love when I have such a closed hard heart. I really need to find the true meaning of Christmas fast so that I can enjoy my holiday season-not to mention the people around me- Sad days.....

T-day wishes!

Well, I hope everyone's Tday was spectacular. Mine was pretty good. I have to admit. I was surprised that I survived the whole experience.

So work has been amazing. Yesterday I saw a patient who was last seen 12 months ago. She had pretty significant interproximal calc on her lower anteriors. She also had been to the periodontist and had a gingival graft on 23-26 on Halloween Oct 31. The tissues looked alright. They were a bit errythemic and bled easily. I did not dare probe. I did not dare scale to aggressively. Am I wrong? I am kind of surprised the periodontist did not scale up the teeth really quick before doing the graft. Anyway since that was my first recent graft I kind of made up what I was supposed to do. Does anyone know for sure?
