It's Almost Over..it IS over #32

[K9karen]

I wasn't going to say anything until afterwards, but I'm so darn nervous, I can't stand it. My final mediation regarding my dog bite is Friday, June 26.

We have everything and everyone ready to go. I can't go into more detail than that right now. We are using a retired judge as a mediator between parties. I decided against a jury.

I know you all are so busy with your own lives and situations. But if you can spare a second to send a good vibe, I'd be so thankful and appreciative. My tummy is in knots.

[Karen]

We will be praying for you and thinking of you sweetie. Go give K-Lo a good bellyrub, that'll make her look all goofy, I bet, and make you laugh so those stomach knots go away.

Sending you big hugs! Hey, how does K-Lo feel about kitties? (Just thinking you are in PA, David P is in PA, dunno how far apart you are ... I hope he won't have to give up Marigold and all ...

Anyway, you'll be in our prayers.

[caseysmom]

You will be in my thoughts, I hope it goes well.

[Daisy and Delilah]

My thoughts and prayers are already there. I hope it turns out to be the best ending we've ever heard at PT. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

Many, many prayers and good thoughts for you.

Sometimes things can turn out for the best in a way we never expected.

Wishing you very positive outcomes and surprises on the 26th.

WELL ... ???

How'd "we" do in Court?

[K9karen]

Thanks, all for your good wishes.
Sorry it's taken me a day to update you. I was so distraught and p.o'd yesterday that I could barely see straight.
That's not to say all won't go well for me..it'll take 10-14 days for the judge to make a decision on the loss of income and pain and suffering parts.

Of course the defendant's lawyer (fyi.. he didn't show) was brutal and as nasty as she always is. They dug up medical records from ages ago since I have a lifetime of spine problems. The vocational expert described, what she thought was my job description (her "research") and it was not a complete synopsis of my description, which I explained. Blah, blah blah.

The good part is that the judge ignored her objections most of the time which made her angrier.

The cops, a client (who came in from Baltimore on my behalf) did great. My brother, instead of taking my suggestion, since he is shy and hates being questioned, ruined everything with stupidity and the defendant's lawyer wanted to squash all his testimony. Bottom line is that I'm considered "damaged goods" anyway.

My counsel seems to think it all went really well. We shall see. My frustration involves the fact that each lawyer had a closing and I'm not allowed to do MY closing! I know that facet doesn't exist, and that's not fair. I protest. I wasn't allowed to make a comment unless I was asked a question.

Anyway, more prayers, please. I'm so annoyed. The only time I reacted to anything was when my character, John's and my brother's were questioned. *Sigh* I hope justice prevails. I didn't crawl under a fence and bite his dog's paw off.
Thanks for listening to my vent.. Very unlike me but I'm out of control and festering all day.

[Daisy and Delilah]

OMG!! That has to be so frustrating!! I'm sending more thoughts and prayers your way, Karen. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
