Kay, Your post made me think about the living will in a new way.

I had been thinking that I could trust Hubby and would put off dealing with it for a while.
Your talk of siblings made me think about how Hubby could go first and
I could be left with a bunch a siblings squabbling -- or worse, not paying attention.

I had a close friend in a diabetic coma on a feeding tube for seven or eight days. The docs were not hopeful.
I was sitting with her one morning when she came out of it -- I could tell because she was moving differently and her eyes opened.
I took her hand and told her she was in the hospital and being taken care of.
I asked her to blink twice if she understood. I had her do it again. She blinked twice.
I did not alert the doc. I did call her family and they came about 90 mins later and eventually alerted the doc (everyone
thought that I had already alerted the doc)
By the time, the doc saw her several hours after "waking up," she was able to squeeze his hand when he asked.

This seems like a legal mess I have to deal with and pay for -- it is hard because I do not even know what I want for myself.
I wonder if lawyers specialize in this or if the documents are pretty standard for most people and not too complicated to think about.

My brain is so f-ing addled that I cannot even handle a call about my bank card. And showing up in person is worse.

Postscript:
Never mind. I am so overwhelmed. It's a wonder I can figure out how I can find clean enough clothes to put
on so I can drive to work.
