OT: Living Will (LOL)

Last night my friend came to visit. We were talking and I said to her, "I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to survive. If that ever happens, please just pull the plug."   She got up, unplugged my computer and threw out my wine.   *****!

 Good one

;-)

Mare, You are such a nut!  LOL

Hee! Hee! But on a serious note, you need a "real" living will before surgery so your wishes are legally on paper! I had a will, living will, POA and Medical POA drawn up before surgery.  My sis didn't want to talk about that stuff, even though she knew we had to... of course I didn't need 'em, yet, but it was something I had put on the back burner WAY too long... so now it's done and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I did all of the paperwork before surgery--up dated my will, appointed a new decision maker, and signed my Living Will and Organ Donation permission.   My sister and daughters did not want to discuss it so I left everything in a big envelope on the mantle in the den.  I told them there it is in case you need it.    Don't forget to make arrangements for your dependent children--just in case.
