This event pulled her deeper into depression and it was very evident in her writing and in everything… In 1960, Sylvia Plath's first collection of poems, The Colossus was published. Shortly thereafter, she and Ted Hughes moved "to an English country village in Devon" ("Sylvia Plath (1932-1963)"). In 1960, their first child, a daughter named Frieda, named after Sylvia's beloved paternal aunt, was born, and in 1962, their son Nicholas was born.

I would have to leave about an hour before my shift started just in case there was any traffic. The drive was exhausting, but I made that drive for two years, making a little more than minimum wage. I felt as if I was living paycheck to paycheck and all my money was going towards my car for my payment, insurance and gas. It was time to look for a new job. At this time, my best friend was quitting her job at an in-home daycare in which my aunt owned and operated.

My patient, Ms Carew was a 72 year old pensioner who lived with her daughter. She took two buses to get to the dental hospital each morning. She had her teeth extracted when she was in her 20s and used to have a new set of dentures made every second year until 1994. She had been wearing her dentures at night for as long as she had had them and because she didn’t have denture stomatitis, it was a bit difficult for me to explain the importance of leaving out her dentures at night. On extra-oral examination (muscle symptoms and joint sounds), there were no abnormalities detected except for a slight asymmetry in the lip region.
