30 Something Baby Doc

I had a difficult minimally invasive hysterectomy scheduled for Friday morning. I need a new alarm clock because my current alarm won't go off again after I depress the snooze button. The latter has caused me to extremely over-sleep in the past.

I went to bed Thursday night. My alarm went off Fri at 5am. I hit the snooze praying I wouldn't oversleep and be late to the surgical case I was scheduled to perform. As luck has it, my alarm did not go off again. I was in danger of oversleeping again and getting a page from the OR informing me my patient was under anesthesia and they were waiting on me to arrive! (with me still in bed).

Suddenly at 5:30am I was harshly awakened by my bed shaking. Initially I thought I was having a seizure. But I soon realized all the furniture in the room was shaking. I quickly turned on the TV and tuned into a news station to discover the entire Midwest region had been effected by a 5.4 earthquake. I subsequently jumped in the shower and made it to my surgery on time. I'm off to Best Buy today to purachse a new alarm clock today.

Thanks God:-)
