One serious ???? DNR
If you are depressed stop now.
I've been married 35 years and have talk to my HB and DD about a Do Not Respirate(?) order. I got one when I went to the Rehap and showed it to the HB and I thought the 35 years was gone. He was so mad he told me I'm talking his rights away to feel. Sh*t I'm not afraid to die but I'm sure afraid to be left in a state of lying there not being able to do a Da* thing for myself. He going to me mad but when I go for my check in a month I'm going to bring it to the Dr. to get it signed. His feeling what about mine. You know when my DD died that was one of the things that saved my mind that she did not linger on machine she was one little indepent child and would not have want to live like that either. She was like me wanted to know what was going on in her life and to have to be just lying there would not have been her. Thank God the two of us (the HB and I) didn't have to make that decision for my DD there would not have never been a marry after she would have passed. I seen them work on that baby if she would have made it she would not have never been the same. She would have stayed depressed. He maded my head hurt.
SOMETHING TO TALK TO YOUR LOVE ONE ABOUT.

Edited to say we put a DNR on my father.

The first time I ever saw this was on an episode of House...I have a DPA but i have not signed a DNR... But my DPA does say that if my chances are slim and i cant breathe on my own do not allow me to stay on a breathing machine...thats just horrible to be in a vegetative state for years and years not able to do anything for myself. I would rather just go to sleep til its time for me to wake up
My life is like McDonalds....I'm Lovin It
Thanks that what I'm talking about. I'm ready to see my little angel anytime I'm call be. I DO NOT want to be just lying there not being about to talk are do anthing for yourself.

Hi:
Everyone should have a Living Will/Advanced HealthCare Directive, Durable Power of Attorney and a Last Will and Testament. I do not care how healthy, wealthy or wise a person may or may not be. As someone with a same-sex partner these are 3 of the 4 Mandatory documents that we possess (we also have a Domestic Partnership Agreement, anyone living with another person and are not legally married should have a DPA or a Co-Habitation Agreement).Today everyone in our society should have at least these 3 documents; the technology is capable of doing stuff to keep us "breathing" that the average human can only imagine (who wants to be a vegetable on a machine - and the hospital "eating" up your savings when you have a Loving spouse or Loved one that you want to have that money) A Living Will/HC Directive will tell him/her exactly what to do, relieving a spouse/partner of that burden . Also, whether a person has a partner/spouse or not they should have these documents with their Attorney and on public record. Just a simple thing as being layed up in the bed with the flu, or for instance, inability to get around/out of your house because of plastic surgery...what if you need someone to withdraw money from your account or make purchases for you, or anything that takes your signature - you need a Power of Attorney.

It just so happen when my mother became ill my father had two power of attorney draw up and put my sister/ I on it. And she on the account in order to get to ready money. but other documents both our names on them. This also gives the HB and I something else to talk about. You think because the insurance and other things have just our name everthings OK.

If you want, email me and I will give you some suggestions, then you can talk to an Attorney in your City for what you need specifically. I'll get back to you sometime tomorrow.

I appreciate this information. Me nor my hubby have this but will be looking into this. My question is however, my mom has alzheimers and my dad refuses to put her in the nursing home and hires someone look after her during the day and he isn't in the best of health himself, so should he get a judge to appoint 1 or 2 of my older siblings power of attorney for my mom so that when the time comes they can handle those things? I'm a lot younger than my siblings and I know that my parents wouldn't want to be kept alive by machines and my dad just can't make those hard decisions and my mom isn't even able to any more. I feel that 1 of my older sisters and 1 of my older brothers should be able to handle those responsibilities. Thanks Kathleen for bringing this discussion to the forefront.
Hi Neenaj, It one hard decision Thank God my father had the right mind to get the power of attorney before both of there health started getting bad. They went to an attorney and had it written up they both need a power of attorney, The two names on there power of attorney's is the 2 youngest of the children. I guess he thought we would have the most better judgment when things start going wrong.You no mom also have Alzheimer's and that's going to be the hardest part is what to do. Just so happens my older sister had mom with her when he fell she couldn't have done a thing for him. Don't no what we are going to do with mom when they get home. Before daddy fell they was doing good home a long. But after this we are thinking they my need around the clock care. And as good as the insurance we no sure what they will pay for at home. And what will the best be for the 2 of them. It's just the 2 of us they live near, and I have fibromaylia and the stress has flared it up something awesome. For all the time the HB and I have been trying to buy a home close to help my parent we have yet to find anything.
YES SOME CAN OF POWER OF ATTORNEY ARE SOMETHING IS NEEDED.NO MATTER WHO NAME ON IT THE OTHER BROTHER AND SISTER DON'T KNOW THAT THERE A DNR ON HIM. THEY ARE NOT WANTING TO BE INVOLVED(SP?).
i BEEN HAVE A HUGE HEADACHE THINKING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT 19 DAY'S.

Kath, that is a very hard, but wise decision. My sister and mom and husby and I have all talked about this subject. We all got very serious about this after the Terri Schiavo's case.
We have also discussed burial and funeral, such as open casket, closed casket, and cremation!
Really, to me, this makes it easier on the family....to know your wishes! Sometimes it's hard to say "pull the plug" on someone you love!
I applaud you for your decision! ~hugs~

Thanks Dedee, you still gave me something to think of every posting have me thinking of other questions. My parents have a pre arrange funeral but I don't even now what that about going to have to go tomorrow and talk with my sister to see if she knows the details. I went to my HB nephews funeral and got half way down the isle and could not make myself go the rest of the way. One of his sister let out a holler that like to make me think I needed a trip to the hospital. HB never missed me in the funeral I was sitting in a van with my
S-I-L first time I thought I was going to lose my mind.
