[quote=Anonymous]Maybe your dad is sick of living this way and knows he will die of CHF eventually anyway. Maybe he is doing these things as a passive way of saying he's done. Can you have an honest conversation with him and ask him if he wants to see a palliative care doctor? It's his life. He's not doing this stuff to annoy the hell out of you and be difficult. With all the interventions available with modern medicine, it seems many elderly end up in a purgatory where quality of life is very low yet they are "kept alive." Also, Lasix makes you feel like crap and have to pee all the time. [/quote]
