Are You Numb Yet?

So we've been learning how to give injections this semester and on Thursday we finally got to give shots on each other. It was awesome! I didn't think I would like it, but I love it! It was so fun and I felt like a real hygienist :) It wasn't such a good experience for the rest of my class though. We had one girl pass out and one guy almost pass out. He was stark white and had to lay down. A girl in my group was shaking so bad she could hardly give the injection. So everyone was a little nervous!

I'm glad it's over though, and I've gotten over the nerves. Here are some fun pics of the day.


Me giving my first injection.


Don't really know what I am doing, just thought it was a funny picture :)

Some of my friends and me trying to pucker up with our half numb faces. It's such a funny feeling!

This is my partner giving me a shot. She was great!

Wow...you look like a pro!!! "Proud to you" Lara. You used to say that when you were little. I'm sure I would be a little nervoous and lightheaded. I feel for the student that passsed out. Love the pucker picture and your special glasses....WAY TO GO LARA!!!!!

Hey Sweets -

You can give me my shots any day! I love the pictures - but I think it's kinda chicken to hide behind a mask when you have a syringe in your hand...most people like to face their executioners!

Proud of you - anxious to see you and Tyler!

Love,

Dad
