So I found out that I have to have my gal bladder removed. They asked me if I wanted to receive blood if needed. I want to say No. My wife wants to say Yes. (No kids) I don't want them to fight to save my life. She does. I really want to right DNR on my chest. One of my biggest disappointments ever will be if I wake up from this. I want something to happen and I never wake up again. I just don't know what to tell the staff.

I don't have any advice for you. Just wanted to say I'm really sorry you are going through this and that I hope you come to a decision you are at peace with. Isn't gall bladder surgery relatively safe? Are you an elderly person?

Hello Humpty Dumpty: I'm sorry you struggling with this. I guess it's up to you to decide which way to go. I understand how you feel. I am at least passively suicidal every day. My mother-in-law had her gall bladder removed quite a few years ago now. At least in her case, it was really no big deal at all. The day she got out of the hospital, she went out with us & ate pizza! Of course your doctors & the hospital want to be prepared for any possibility. But, at least so far as I'm aware, having one's gall bladder removed is no big deal.

Haha no I'm not elderly. (I know you don't know but being in my mid 30s I find it funny)
It was fairly simple. Just ended up being done laparoscopicly. I knew it was going to be simple but still there's always the chance. I ended up telling them I didn't want the blood. Didn't really get blow back but they had to give me a warning about that.

I was just really hoping to not wake up.
