So mom has been in her current job for more than 2 years now. As you know, her shifts start at 5:15 am, which means she leaves the house about 4 am. That, of course, requires her to be out of bed by about 2:45 am.
I find it totally amazing that for at least 2 years, she has never slept through her alarm. She's been able to drag herself out of bed and get herself to work on time--even given this worst conceivable shift schedule.
Kudos to mom! Amazing work! (Oh, and did I mention that she's never fallen asleep during one of these shifts (that last, often, until 9 pm)! I really don't ever want dialysis done by someone who has been working for 16 hours--but mom gets the job done.
All of this would have been a bit easier on her if she were a morning person--which we know she is not, not, not! Night person: yes, definitely!
Amazing!
