So again... if I could encourage any of you to get this done now
for YOU and YOURS, I certainly will.

Amen to a lot of very good advice. I saved the post.

Thanks,
LD

Please note:
It is never too early to leave a will, living will, DNR desires, for
you yourself. Once you get (semi)incapacitated it will be much more
difficult. What would you do if had a car accident or your planned
elective surgery goes wrong, and you become a vegetable?

Do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
And make your living will/DNR instructions part of your medical
record!!

I have an advanced directive and happen to be having some surgery in
about 8 hours!

Good luck!!


Well, That worked! Got at at 3pm today. C5-6 discectomy and fusion.

Mine was a C-3,4,5 fusion somewhere around 1961. Being an (American)
football star (in my mind) sucked. Fortunately, no more horsepital
visits until '05 where I had a 1' colon shortening which was also no fun
at all (except it beat the alternative)!
