Terrible Day

My days are quite long in OB right now. I have to wake up at 4:30am to be at work by 6:00am and usually don't get back home until 7ish....and then I have to try and concentrate on studying for 2-3 hours. Anyway...this morning I wake up and head out to my car (which is parked 200ft from the apartment building) and my drivers side window is smashed in and the contents from my glove compartment and center consol are thrown about my car. Someone had decided to break into my car between 6:30 last night and 5:00 this morning. Not a great way to start the morning! Luckily I don't keep anything of value in my car so they didn't steal anything. Maybe a couple quarters from my ash tray?

So I spent the morning filing a police report (because I am sure it will do so much good) and calling places to get my car fixed. Thank goodness I found a place that could do it right away and have it done in an hour. I had tried the Lexus dealership and they had said it would take 2 days just to order it! I don't have two days to sit around with no drivers side window!!!

So $300 later my window is fixed and I head off to the hospital. I'm hoping that once I submit the reciept that insurance will reimburse it.

The day did get slightly better when I found out that I passed the second part of my board examination and I got to be on the labor and delivery floor all day! I love labor and delivery where there are always patients coming in and you never know exactly when they are going to deliver. Like yesterday I went to check on a patient who is a multip (she has had more than one baby) and her cervix was 5cm when she came in. 10 minutes later when I checked on her she said she had to pee and when I took the sheet from her legs she had broke her water and I could see the baby's head! Baby arrived 20 seconds later after she pushed one time!! We didn't even have time to put on sterile gowns or masks! Exciting and adrenaline pumping for sure!
