Jury Duty

When I got the summons to jury duty two months ago, I thought I'd be walking independently by now, so I didn't mention my recent medical problems when I filled out the questionnaire. I'm still using a walker and Dominic is still my driver.
Today was the day I had jury duty orientation. The judge explained several reasons why we are lucky to be in a small county - there are very few jury trials each year and they are very short. Afterwards, I told him that, for someone who has served on a jury for a trial that lasted two full weeks, this sounded easy. I did not ask to be excused, but since they plan to divide the jury pool into two groups, each to serve for half the year (oh, yes, this is for the year 2020), I asked to be in the second half. I figure that by July I should be much more stable on my feet.
