Current mood:Scared of the future

I am hurting real bad right now. My hips, shoulder, and the left side of my stomach are hurting. Last night was so bad I couldn't post a Blog about it. I turned the computer on and brought up MS Word, but was feeling so bad I shut everything back down. 

I got a notice this past week about jury duty. I thought about trying jury duty just so that some judges could see what I go through daily, but I felt that in the end I would become a distraction that they wouldn't put up with and would try to force me to sit there without fidgeting around in the seat uncomfortably or getting down on my knees for relief from the pain. 

I have had to get on my knees when I was still working to get through the day and still do so at my own computer and when playing video games. With video games I can also stand and lay down while playing. When I was still working I would lay down on the floor when the call volume was low. I had requested weekends, as the call volume was particularly low, however they always moved me back to weekdays as the call volume was so low they couldn't warrant keeping me on weekends.

I sent a letter in with the jury duty papers explaining my situation, but without a doctor to back me on this they still try to force me into jury duty. For me that would be tantamount to torture and I am afraid of that.
