Ugh.
Here I go for surgery on April 15 and I have to leave everything up to my sister of all people.
My sister who is the opposite of me in all regards.
My sister who has the memory of a gnat.
My sister who I tell what I want and then she goes and does the exact opposite, well meaning she is, but she is abscent minded, liberal as they come but not all together there .
So what do I do?
More after the orange jumpsuit.
What do I want?
Simple enough... if there is a screw up in surgery, or if things do not look promising in surgery I want the middle choice. I always go for the most moderate of choices when it comes to things, and I find it has served me well.
You know if the options are
a) No advanced medical care under any situations
b) Advanced medical care up to a certain point
c) Continuted and above medical care
I'd be a B'er.
I'd not want them to immediatly pull the plug, but I;d not want to spend the next 20 years on it either. I'd want common sense to rule.
But my sister, I fear, would use her 'feelings' to pick what 'she' would want, regardless of what I would want, no matter how many times I told her.
My brother, who ultimatly knows, and would follow what I want, is not coming into the country from China for the surgery, unless he is needed. So I am hoping he does not need to come in.
So I guess this is just a rant. I can't afford a lawyer, to make my needs known, and I do not know what would happen if my needs were not expressed, so on the offhand chance that G-d or somewhere, someone out there is paying attention,. have at it. :)
