Goal: Finish 4 quads and complete my pt treatment.
Reality: My pt was a no show. I was worried about that because their phones were turned off and so I called a back up person, and their daughter got sick and threw up in the car on the way so she didn't come either.
New Goal: To not get discouraged.
Reality: That is difficult. I am trying not to be discouraged. It certainly sucks (exscuse the adjective) when you know your pt didn't come back because they hated their last appointment. However by the time we go through such a lengthy process before we can even scale, we have driven our pt away. At this point if they are not your relative or devoted friend there is very FEW people who want to spend 6 hours in a chair with their mouth open. It is too bad there is no credit for areas other than scaling or xrays. Just a thought.
Bright side, I know I am better then when I started. I'll just keep going forward from there, that is all I can do.
