House In Order, day 21

[cjsmith]

Advance Health Care Directive (medical power of attorney and living will) DONE. Need to print it out, get it signed by some witnesses, and hand out copies.

Insufferably proud of self. I had procrastinated this one for years.

I did a will once, through the JAG corps in the Army, when we were about to be shipped to the Gulf. (Turns out a bunch of us including me didn't go after all.) That was a weird good feeling too. That will is now *very* out of date... but everyone named in it is alive and at least I can say I HAVE a will.

But the health care stuff, nope, I've never done one of those before. For quite a few surgeries with general anaesthesia, they've asked when I'm doing the intake paperwork, but I never did it. Now if there's ever a problem Rob will be in a much better position to say that he knows my wishes.
