Last week I got a summons for possible federal jury duty in Philadelphia late August and I am hoping that I don't have to go. We are going to be so shorthanded at work but they won't allow me to miss for that, but when talking to my neighbor he said that he was excused from going because of his colitis and IBS, his doctor just wrote a letter explaining it and he was excused, and he said "you have that too, don't you?" and I do; I was at the family doctor for it again about 5 weeks ago and just this past Tuesday I met with a gastroenterologist about it and to schedule a colonoscopy on 9/10 and it got me thinking of if I was picked how would I be able to sit through hours of court and not have to go? There are times I go 3 times in a few hours in the morning, sometimes I REALLY have to be close to the bathroom, so I asked my doctor about it and he wrote a letter explaining my situation, I emailed it and also mailed it in so I'll see if they excuse me or not. It wouldn't be the worst thing if I did have to go, and if I was picked and was having a good day bowel-wise I'd be okay, but I never know what the day will bring. I started taking Kyodophilus probiotic and also digestive enzymes twice a day a few days ago, I have taken these things off and on for years but I figured I would try them both on a steady basis and see if they help, so far they do seem to be helping but time will tell. I'll see what happens I guess.
I am working in the medical field and we are going to be really strapped next month so work would love it if I could be excused as would I. I think they should make some people who are getting unemployment instead of working because they make more money that way go instead, they don't have a job so they have time to spend in court, or someone who actually wants to go as some people do.
