Jury summons
I received a jury summons in the mail a few days ago. Monica convinced me that I should apply for the medical exemption to get out it, she was concerned I that I wouldn't be able to sit through the selection process, much less a trial if I was selected. I reluctantly agreed. So when I went in for my chemotherapy treatment today I asked my doctor for a doctors note to get me out of Jury duty. He typed up the following letter: "Mr. Hatch is under my care for lung cancer and due to this illness and treatment, will not be able to perform jury duty ever again." (emphasis added) At first Monica and I laughed a lot. But then it wasn't quite so funny. I didn't know quite how to take it. Was he trying to do me a favor by getting me off the hook for the rest of my life, or was he saying something else? Hmmm.

He He I'm sure he was doing you a favor so you do not ever have to do jury duty again even after your cancer is cured! I have had jury duty mess up my schedule a number of times and no one saved me from that experience. Good luck with your treatments
I'd look on it from the positive side. :) How are you feeling since your treatment yesterday? We are very excited to see you in a few weeks.
Love, Britt
