Wise

This post is enormous, so I'll make the dialogue snappy.

Wise County VA, we saw 1300 patients in 2.5 days, we provided 1.3 million dollars worth of work.

This project was the largest in the world and broke all the records.

I am so blessed to have been part of it.

(The pictures are in reverse order, so start from the bottom)


all tuckered out looking as sexy as can be

Jen helping me out with my look

I'll tell you what I AM in need of- A bath and a t-shirt that is not 4 sizes too large...oh and not a rat tail hair style either.

never looking better

gasin' up... took about 170 dollars each time

Not a bad drive

James was such a trooper and drove the entire time, so Jen and I never had to. We love James!!

On the road again...7 hour drive back to Richmond

End of Project meeting. Dr. Brooks and Dr. Dickensen telling us how freaking awesome we are. It's true.

I love this picture. This was after everything was packed up and we were headed out. Everybody's faces are so funny...

random sheep dog dressed up in dental scrubs

Jen

James

this poor cute Iranian boy that I followed around the whole trip...


Pizza hut

Neda made front page news!

it doesn't look like it, but he's singing

Neda, Jen, Austin, and David

This program is first come first serve so people end up waiting in very long lines for a very long time.

we're so retarded...lol

Fizza and me amused ourselves by putting stickers all over Neda's back...


James fulfilling the never ending job of trash duty


Naz and me


Zeeshawn being a good boy and dumping the spit buckets out...disgusting job which I have managed to avoid entirely

Cutie cutes Omar and Zeeshawn

FIZZZZA!!!



This is the doc that let me do things I shouldn't have done... love him...

5 am, rise and shine! (me and Fizza, another one of my lova loves)

Dr. Brooks, doin her thang

I heart Neda. You know when you meet somebody and you just have a crazy connection with them, and love them instantly. That's Neda for me. She's my girl.

Oral surgeon resident that I helped out a bit


I'm tough.

Jen and me setting up one of the two sterilization sites for the hundreth time...



This is the main area where we work. Restorative and hygiene dentistry here, oral surgery in the back.


The project is set up at the Wise County Fair grounds, see how gorgeous? Since it's up in the mountains, the weather is basically perfect. It was warm and breezy the whole time :)


Jennifer and me after most of the set up was complete...


More settin' up


This is one of the two big supply trucks that brings down everything that we need. I drove this one for like 2 hours or so...it was scary, but I felt cool...haha


This is Neda and me setting up the units. (The things that suck saliva and blood and squirt air and water.)
