"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth"-Mike Tyson
My parents put together a very clear quality of life plan they agreed on and briefed us on for the past 20+ years.
Now as they face these real world decisions they are consistently choosing the exact opposite.
When they are not able to make these decisions themselves we as a family are now more confused than ever and I expect a big problem. Nobody really wants to go wave the paper back in their face reminding them of their desire to exit gracefully, not seek expensive treatments, risky operations. Who becomes the death advocate when they change their mind in practice?
I used to think these were a good idea until this and now I am totally disillusioned. The will to live is a very powerful thing.
