Life & death decisions.

Annual checkup day. My doctor discussing my 'do not reuscitate' order and I'm asking to remind me of the details and probabilities. Paraphrasing here : "Well, if your heart stopped while you were in hospital, of course they'd restart it. But if it happened at home, by the time we got you in, it would be a bit late. Not saying you couldn't possibly be brougfht back but you might not be in good shape. Even if it was a relatively good recovery most people wouldn't last more than about a month; so what d'you think?"

Of course I left the DNR in place.

Doesn't later life get a bit surreal !
