I think they took issue with whether she was of sound enough mind to make that decision for herself, which is bullshit. I did tell her to keep trying, her husband is also there to support her so I'm sure they will get to some kind of resolution. They may have already, I'm not sure. I just found it really sad when you worked for the healthcare industry your whole life and they still try to tell you how to think and feel about a matter you've been thinking about for over a decade.

My dad was EMT. He's worked on people wayyyy past sensible but ... policy ... so when he started his own decline, he got his DNR.

I hate that we're in the age where humane care has to be stipulated.
