Another late night. I worked all day 7am-7pm, but didn't get to leave the hosptial unil 8pm 'ish. I was so busy there at the end of my shift. It's so sad some of the people's situations that precipitate them ending up in our hospital. I can't say because of confidentiality, but I know one thing's for certain. I know how I do NOT want to die. I think it's sad the lengths we are going to keep some people alive....what are some family members thinking? I don't know. I've never had to make that call, so I guess I shouldn't judge. I'm just saying - when it comes time for me to die. I want to do it peacefully.

I am so happy my family has all expressed how they feel about death, how they want to die, what they want to be kept alive for, and what they want done with their bodies when they die. I know you are thinking "How morbid!!!" But really, it sure saves a lot of grief and arguements when unexpectedly (cause they always are) when the time comes to make medical decisions on one's family member's care.

Please, discuss death and dying with your family. It's not morbid, it's important. REALLY important.
