Do not resuscitate
« on: September 12, 2019, 10:32:23 AM »
When my husband came home from hospital on Monday after having a possible TIA, on which the jury is still out, we had a serious discussion. He said that if he had a major stroke he would not wish to be resuscitated. He reckons he has lost so much after his brain haemorrhage in 2006, not being able to do the things he can still do would be a fate far worse than death. We have discussed it with our girls and they agree that his wish should be upheld.

I have had one of those Health and Welfare special legal documents made to add to Power of Attorney, so that my sons can, if necessary, have the last word over and a bove that of the doctors.
