Ain't this a kick in the head, just my luck this will be a high profile case that will require that I can't go home...lol No, I'm just kidding. I don't want this to interfere with the surgery date, has this happened to anyone before? I was thinking that I should ask my sergeant to write me a letter stating that I'm secluded for surgery, so I don't have to serve at this time. I'm a political science major and would love to do it, that is the killer part of this I'm one of those people that would like to see the actual court room situation play out. I've only been severed one other time and I was dismissed. I think it's because I was to into the whole thing. lol Your thoughts on how I should go about handle this would be appreciated please. Thank you...

I believe for medical reasons you can get out of it. Your surgeon should be able to write something up for you.

Go that day and explain to them that your having surgery. If you need your surgeon to be involved then do so. I would wait because it may only be your there for that 1 day. Call your surgeons office and ask. On the possitive side it will keep you busy and your mind off of things.

I'm in the process of cleaning my house and purchasing things that I need for surgery, I don't have time to sit in that court room, unless they have free Wi fi...lol

That sounds like good advice, I have pre op testing on Oct. 1st, I will ask for that letter at that time. Jury duty is not until the Oct. 11th my surgery date is on Oct. 15th, so I don't have much time.
