That is a wonderful idea. Having obeyed my Mum's wishes to the letter, and in conflict with family wishes it could save a great deal of unhappiness down the track.

(Do Not Resuscitate) would have been all that it could be, I think that on her way to hospital in the ambulance (a 5 mile journey from Halswell) they were trying to resuscitate but stopped the misplaced effort when her notes were accessed at the hospital.
She knew what was coming because she had had many unexpected mini-strokes (Transient ischemic attacks) (T.I.A.'s) before the final big one.
Mine too, except neither of us realised what the outcome would be. Six years of hell... If I had known I wouldn't have called the ambulance...
But I know now, lol!
