Do you have a living will?

[SunFloridaDisney]

DH and I have been talking, and this is something we've never taken the time to do. However with all the sensational cases in the news this year, maybe we should do it.

It came up since I'm having some surgery on Tuesday. Nothing that should be very life-threatening, should be quick and easy, but...ya never know. There's always that possibility that something will go wrong, and when you least expect it, you're in a serious situation.

They did ask during my pre-op visit at the hospital if I have a living will or any special directives. I said no, but have been thinking about that ever since. I've gone so far as to look up a form online for our state, and I think that would be sufficient, if I have our nephew (NOT my blood relative) notarize it.

Just wanted to get some viewpoints, and I figure I'll get them here! (and crossing my fingers that this doesn't become a debate!)

Yes, I have one. But it seriously needs updating. Problem is I'm running out of people I would trust! Not even comfortable with the way it is now.

Last night on Larry King, he was interviewing attorney Robert Shapiro. He has a website that will provide you with a free living will this weekend. Link

Yes we both have one. We have had it for years.

Yep. Had it updated about a year ago.

I completed one recently. You can go onto the Hospice Website and download one, as well.

Until this week, my Mom didn't have one. I'm glad she has one now.

Just had one made up a couple of months ago. I put three people on in hopes that one of them would follow my wishes. DH and DD24 I have my doubts about, but I made my brother swear if they failed me he would go along with what I say.

DH and I have them. We've had them for about 10 years now.

Everyone should have one! There could be a car wreck today (heaven forbid! but you never know!)
