To tell the truth I have never watched a Super Bowl Game in my Life, But this year if the BEARS are in it then I will. I donot drink but Yes My wife will be bringing me a Ice Cold Pepsi and yes Chips if she was going to be home but she will be working.

Oh well Thats Life.Z

 

Ok, I've seemed to of got it backwards. Shes a bigger football fan then I am, and now that her team, the Saints, are going for a division championship, I guess I'll be getting everything.

 

Go Bears

 

Are they going to be put out of misery??

I believe there is another thread for that comment......

superbowl thread

 

If I were in a coma and if there was a chance I can come out of it. I say leave me plugged in.

 

That is werea Living Will starts,,,,If you do not have anything...You will be hooked up to any and all machines until a family member takes it to court and gets a court order to disconnect life support.

And this happens more than you think!!!!!!!!!!!!


It does not matter how old you are, or how young you are...............
If this is your wishes PLEASE GET A LIVING WILL STARTED have a copy with your family, and a legal consul.

Also get a DNR paperwork started.

 

Karen, what's a DNR?

When my dad was dying of pancreatic cancer, he asked me to "pull the plug" if they tried to keep him alive. He was old school, and didn't understand that I could not do that. Of course i told him I would, and thankfully he died at home without the need for that. I am so thankful for Hospice, they were great.

 

DNR = Do Not Resuscitate

No mouth to mouth, no CPR......when your dead your dead.

 

Thanks jx3.

 

JX3... if the "living Will " is done correctly the DNR goes beyond the "normal" recognised procedures. It also, can regulate how life saving precedures are administered.....drugs, artficial resporators, etc. under specified conditions, when you are in a vegetative state.

Karen.....

Question for you..... Read an article that medical facilities are not legally bound to follow these written wishes. However, most do. The article said that it is not a matter of life or death, but more to the legal issue of being involved. So, some may deny the DNR. Do you know of this?? Is it true, to your knowledge??
