Jury Duty

I've always been curious about how the process works. My Dad has received the initial paperwork twice. Both times I was waiting for a transplant and he had to decline being in the jury pool. Mom also received a summons and couldn't make it either because it was scheduled for shortly after her hip surgery. So I got a notice in the mail a few months ago and I had to fill out all sorts of medical/mental questions. I received the summons today and on April 6th I will go for jury selection. I'm pretty interested in seeing how the entire process works. Since I've never been to the courthouse, I'll be doing a dry run to check out parking and where the room is. I'm a bit anal that way.

I've also finished my letter to my donor family and have sent it off. I've been told by my transplant coordinator the virtually every family appreciates the letters, but sometimes they are so overcome with emotion that they are not able to respond. I'm not expecting a response, I just want them to know that I had a beautiful wedding, in part, because of them.
