One of the reasons I'm getting re-married is to not die alone. Mondo depressing.
Ok, but your partner could die before you.

I try to take Benjamin Franklyn’s philosophy...
There are paid advocates. They are quite expensive. I imagine the more successful ones do a fairly good job, although then again, how would their helpless customers even be able to rate them?
Being a advocate for someone is a lot of work and takes time and you really have to stay on top of things. Sometimes medical professionals will argue with you or ignore your instructions. I had to fire one hospice because of this. They were not supporting me but rather fighting with me.
That's been my wish. Since I've eaten many animals, I think it would be fair if they got their turn with me. At least I wouldn't have to go through the suffering that we put them through.
What gives these maniacs the authority to decide who should see a sick person, if that person is not objecting to the visit?A very casual acquaintance of ours disappeared on Set.8. He had a girlfriend for several years but they did not live together . He has medium dementia and so does she . It was finally discovered that he had a stroke and was in a local hospital . The girlfriend goes to visit him but they do not let her in since it is family only .The only family he has is a daughter whom he has not seen in over 20 years and a angry ex wife .He has now no longer in the hospital but no one can locate were he is . Daughter & ex wife will not answer any attempts to locate him and he had no power of attorney for health care or finances .Bizarre but true .
Which animals do we skin alive, at least here in The US and Canada?That is so funny and true. Not only we eat animals, but we sometimes skin them alive, put them in boiling water while they are still moving around, display their naked dead body for sale, ...
NCBILL: my friend that had Alzheimer's was starting to do very weird things and she was seeing things that were not there so the neuro doc gave her an anti-psychotic. Well it had a side effect of pulling her neck down and to the side which is painful. The home never called me but I noticed it. I learned about it in grad school and it is painful and can be permanent. So I called the doc and the meds were stopped. Fast forward to 6 months later her cancer comes back and we have hospice in the home and they take care of all her meds. I told them to never give her this particular med. Well they do anyways and of course I notice the side effects and call hospice. I fought with them an entire day and they would not let me talk to the doc. I then fired them and hired another one. Each hospice requires a ton of paperwork to be provided by me. The home was decent but they never call you when something is serious like this. There is no way they could have not noticed what was happening to her and she was even sleeping like that. That is one of many things that happened before she died.

That helps explain a bizaare sight in a local restaurant (an enormous dive, really, but popular for luncheons due to large plates of food). There was a table of a dozen ancient ladies, and three of them had their poor old faces all but in their plates the entire time they were there. All I could see were the white puffballs on top of their heads. It looked uncomfortable as well as humiliating. I bet they were on that medication, and couldn't control the position of their heads.
If it is an antipsychotic given to Alzheimer's patients, would such ladies be eating in a regular restaurant?
