[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does HE want? I know it's hard to think about but do you really want to get down the road where he will be put through painful procedures and end up dying in the hospital vs. comfortably at home? We've had this conversation with my father who is a similar age and been through some health crises. He is adamant that he will not go back to the hospital. He will be happy if a simple infection leads to a quick end. He would be so angry with us if we called an ambulance and forced him to the hospital. Doing so would be all our our needs, not his. You need to have the end-of-life conversation with your father and respect his wishes. [/quote] +1000. My mother has said no more hospitals. At 91, I'd maybe go to the doctor but would not proceed down the road of test, hospitalizations, etc. [/quote]
