Considering a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order

I hope no one I know ever gets to that stage in life to think about it.

I hope none of us have to be there

If I had the choice of being a veggie in bed or dying I would sign a DNR

Unless we die unexpectedly and prematurely, we all will have to face this question.

Looking at this issue when you are young, healthy and have no life ending conditions is not the way. Think it you were 70 plus, sick with a terminal illness and in pain every day.

Insurance companies will like this one

Relatives who would rather you dead for your money are not worth talking to.

There's a form you can do where it specifies what measures you want. For example, no dialysis, no ventilator, yes on IV & steroids, etc. And there's an option where you can reserve the right to stop something like dialysis if it's not working out.

My advice, having watched my partner die, is to have a plan in advance. This may have to include moving funds to qualify for hospice care and avoid estate taxes. My partner was in complete denial, making things so difficult for everyone in terms of her care, and finances.
