A rather productive week………………………………………………….

As always, first the chronology:

Now the particulars:

Good thing about the week was the short court sessions. Most were hearings and they bunch them together like they do trial week. Other than Thursday I only worked one half day. Things will be light the next couple weeks then on the 20th we have a murder trial. That should be very interesting and challenging. Tempers tend to flair on those issues. More challenge keeping the gallery in check than anything else.

Tuesday I got to see the orthopedic doctor. Basically he said if I was ready for a knee replacement he would make it happen. I got an appointment with the surgeon but was told they wouldn’t operate till 3 months after I had the injections in case of infection. Now I don’t know who to believe. The doctor said it would be up to 3 months recovery. Julie said I could do it in 3 to 4 weeks. I’m not sure how that will turn out but I’ll keep you posted.

The Rice and Pressler family was scheduled to go on a trip together this summer. However, Carter had a great offer doing an internship that would be most of the summer so that put the stop to that idea. However, the girls still wanted to go to the beach. So Kathy and I agreed to take them to the beach. Kathy wanted to get an Atlas so she could visualize were places where. So we made a trip into Louisville to the AAA office on Wednesday to get the Atlas. Only cost us $1.05. While there we chatted with a vacation advisor who suggested a place in Michigan along the lake. She was from Chicago and said all the well to do go up there for vacation in the summer. And it’s only about a 3 to 4 hour drive compared to a two day drive to the Carolina’s or some where more southern. So Kathy now has all the information to plan that. We’ll see what happens.

Had internet issues that are intermittent and only affects Kathy’s computer. Seems to me it had to be one of two ports or the cable between them. I have that bypassed for now so she is happy. I’ll work on that again when I have time.

That is all the excitement for this week. As always, hope this finds you safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you again next week.
