pain

[Guest guest]

I wrote this in a journal after a trip to ER (I was not a happy camper),

it is a rough of a living will (which I will have to get done one day,

does anyone have a proper example - acceptable to a hospital?)

I do want pain relief, even if it hastens death

if the pain is not severe, I can be quite happy no matter how small

my world becomes

as long as pain does not prevent me thinking and being aware, the

world is always interesting enough, large enough, challenging enough to

want to live

as I remember, being unconscious was quite pleasant, don't put and

end to my life assuming it is not pleasant or worth while for me, I'd

prefer God left in charge

so treat me at least as well as a potted plant, give me light,

nutrition, water and attention - good music would be lovely too

when I need care giving, please respect me enough not to treat me as

less than an adult person - do not patronize, punish, cajole, belittle or

'baby-talk' me. Do not ridicule or ignore me, I'd sooner be left to

my own devices or rot quietly

at point of death I have who I have become, what I leave behind you

can dispose of however you see fit
