what the Dr. doesn't tell you.....

The crucial things dr.'s don't tell you. Such as take with food, don't take with milk, and the most important.....take at the beginning of the meal. These are things that are necessary to know when taking medications. One example, Augmentin. It's a wonder drug and wonderful at making you even more ill than you were in the first place! I have first hand knowledge. If it had not been for the wonderful J Wo I am sure I would have crawled under the desk and DIED!! (Kami, I think I know how you felt in New Orleans!). She looked up Augmentin in the trusty Drug Information Handbook all Dental Hygienist's know so well. There it gave the important information to take the pill at the beginning of the meal. When I asked the Dr about any special instructions he said "probably you should take it with food". Was that enough information??

So, FYI, if you are a hygienist ,use that book faithfully both in practice and at home. Your loved ones will be eternally grateful. If you are not a hygienist and know a hygienist, beocme their friend and have his/her number on speed dial for times like this. If you are not a hygienist and do not know one, find one and become their friend. They are quite handy to have around. They know alot of things, not just flossing. Bottom line is Dr's don't always tell you everything. When in doubt, ask your hygienist.

I'm BACKKKK....

It's been awhile since I have made a post. This summer will be easier for me to work on the blog. No motorcycle accidents for Jack this year. May 10, 2007 we came to close to losing him again. The bike is still sitting in my garage--time to get rid of it!

I have been at Weber almost all day today. I can't work on my syllabi another minute. I gave anesthetic for a couple of students today for their WREB. I have to stay around during the treatment--it's 4:30 pm and I am SO BORED!!

I miss the class of 2008 already. It was good to see their faces today. I have also been thinking of the class of '07 and wondering how they are doing. Hope some of you check my blog and keep in touch. I have to figure out how to link other blogs with mine. Good summer project.

Finally!! I am now able to post to my blog. I have been unable to access this part of the blog and unable to post to others. Whatever Kami had me do (of course Kami!) it worked. So now I can join in on the fun.

Loki Dog

This is my absolutely adorable and loyal dog Loki. She thinks that she is my last child at home.

I'm Bossy!

Here is Boston with her mask that I bought her from New Orleans! She already has a pose perfected! Boston has picked out a theme song for herself already and it is "I'm Bossy" by an artist that Joelle knows of. You will have to ask her as I do not know the hiphop stars of today.
