Just finished my advanced directives. I take it in Friday to have it notarized and put in the hospital records. They asked what you’d like your final moments to be like and I included having a dog or cat with me. I also said I want pain meds even if they make it hard to communicate. I think there’s nothing sillier than worrying about addiction when someone is dying.

I had a Medicare annual wellness checkup today and she asked if I had an advanced directive on file. I said I always meant to but I’ve never gotten to it. So she made the appointment for Friday to get it done. That’s such a relief.
