Hi Ernie.

I don't hear the alarm clock either, and I enjoy it ;D
My wife wakes me. I will have to test the cell phone trick though. Because how do I get out of bed when I'm out of town for a meeting???

Kenneth,

Maybe Rick's wife will "gently" wake you up too!   :D

I used to have to gently wake my husband up too.  He must just bruise easily because I don't think I ever punched him THAT hard....

my alarm must be louder than everyone's. unfortunately it wakes me up every morning. even when my 'bad' ear is up.

first ring / hit snooze - holler at slow teenage daughter to get up.
second ring / hit snooze - holler at her again
third ring/ hit snooze - teenage son's turn to get 'reminded' to rise and shine
fourth ring / snooze - other daughter's turn and my turn too. 

well goodnight. that's all coming too fast tomorrow morning.

 
1.5 left side; hearing loss; translab scheduled for 1/29/09 at Univ of MD at Baltimore
My head feels weird!!

Thanks for asking this Ernie... I have been wondering too!
Right sided AN 2.7cm at last MRI.  Hearing loss/facial numbness.  Translab scheduled March 11th 2009.  Translab at Royal Melbourne Hospital, Australia successful!  Total tumour removed, SSD, no facial issues, numbness has left the building, balance issues but they'll get better and I'm loving life!

I'm a shift worker, so it's only a concern 33 percent of my working days :).  One of my shifts is 6 AM to 2 PM.  That means I'm getting up at 5 AM.  For the first few of those rotations, I'll probably have my wife set her alarm too, just in case.  I do hope I can get up without something under my pillow though.  My hands are always under my pillow, and my pillow "travels" alot at night :).
