Proxy
Knowing now that JSC would pull the plug on me and that Terry's husband is ok with her starving to death. I'm a little concerned that my Mom also agreed that it's ok for her as a Mom not to have any say.
But - knowing that opening this door leads to bigger things....God Forbid our parents get Alzheimers and need someone to feed them....might as well go get that .45 so that I can get over quickly.
I have decided to name a Heathcare Proxy.
A living will, you see does not cover all bases. There are varying circumstances when it comes to what exactly can occur. Apparently a living will tries to be specific - but as we all know all laywers will find a loophole and anything can happen to me.
I am going to name my Mother as a Heathcare Proxy. If my Mother has passed then I leave it up to my Dad.
They will do what's right.
They will keep JSC away from my machine - at least for a little while.

Morbid is my middle name.
These are things you need to think about.
Do you have a living will? Who will you assign to be your healthcare proxy?
This has jarred our reality and made everyone realize that they need to make decisions today that will affect their medical care down the road. This is good.
Being your mother, I know that neither of you would want to live like this for 5 days, let along years. I would hope I would be up to the decision you would want me to make. Best to put it in writing so there is no doubt.
Enough of being morbid. I quit.
