firewatcher Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello all, I was actually seated on a jury!!!!!! Apparently peeing every 45 minutes is NOT enough to be excused . The bailiff said that the judge was "very good" about that sort of thing and would be made aware of my condition. Sooooo, my bladder and I will see.

jump Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hopefully the judge will indeed be considerate.Although a hassle, it is really interesting to sit on a jury. Hopefully yours will be short and sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliegee Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Congrats, I guess. Wish your health was better. All of my jury duties were very interesting. Hope your bladder behaves so you can "enjoy."Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I served on a federal jury for more than a week last Feb--my medical conditions were on my forms, so they were well aware, and I was not excused.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I am keeping my trembling fingers crossed that this headache stays down, its been nasty in the afternoons! I am tempted to go ahead and take dDAVP so that I don't have the urination issues, I may call my Doc on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted November 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Whew, jury duty done. It was a long day, but the judge was actually surprisingly good about bathroom breaks. I now have a nasty headache and toes were numb all day, but neither of those are really out of the ordinary any more. My doc OK'd the dDAVP for today so I did not have to go like I normally do, I think that the polyuria is actually getting worse. As for the actual case, it was a disappointment for true justice, it all came down to semantics. We could only answer the question that was asked and we were given the definitions by which to make our decision. The only ones that won this one were the lawyers.

pat57 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I got out of it twice. I wrote that I cannot sit without either being in a daze or fainting. I do have a Drs note not to sit more than 1 hour. But I am of no use because I would not be able to pay attention. Don't have POTS- have OH and NCS.
