Boards

Friday and Saturday Dave took the last part of his board exams. This is the part where they work on patients and have to perform certain procedures. The most stressful part is finding patients that ft the requirements and then making sure they show up. In fact, students actually pay their patients to ensure they will show up. Well, the "Arthur luck" struck again and Dave's last patient on Saturday didn't show up. Luckily his friend Austin had a back-up patient that he didn't need that Dave was able to use. So he got a late start and then soon realized the cavity was much bigger than expected. The procedure was more difficult and lasted longer than Dave would have liked, but he finished with about a minute to spare. We're just so thankful that everything worked out!!!

Yeah, that's my kind of luck too. I'm hoping it's not contagious and that Renn doesn't catch it.

Congrats on finishing on time though... sounds crazy!
