Yea, it does feel good to be done!
THe dr. hasn't done a depo yet-but I will be there. Even if lies (especially if he lies), I want him to know that he is lying not only before God but also before the mother of the child whose arm he destroyed. That may not bother him but I will feel better for having made my presence known. I am also curious to observe his body language, facial expressions, etc. I want to one day tell my child that, win or lose, Mom was there to face the doctor who hurt you. I don't know why this is so important to me but it is.

I remember the lawyer for the defense asking me some really nice questions like, are you on any drugs right now? any alcohol? are you an alcoholic? it was crazy since she kept asking me the same questions over and over to see if i would change my mind. i guess it is hard for them to understand that the truth doesnt change. btw...we won our case a couple of years ago. now that that is over for you, you should be coming up on a trial...good luck and stay strong!!

Answer truthfully and don't overanalyze too much. Don't say anything you are not absoutely sure of that you might not be able to repeat at the trial. No "I think". The first thing the defense will try to do is ruin your credibility in court if you do not answer closely to what you have stated in your deposition. If between the deposition and the trial you have acquired more information or found you have remembered more about a particular question, talk to your attorney first before attempting to change or elaborate on your answer. You are better off studying your deposition before your trial and give the same answers. Credibility is the key! Believe me...I just went thru this. Don't open any new windows!
