[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very, very odd that he is full code at such an old age. Are you sure he understands what that means? I can't fathom anyone of sound mind making that choice.[/quote] OP here - I think it’s because, as unhappy as he is, the idea of dying is still scary. He has so many chronic conditions that won’t improve and will only get worse. I don’t feel like any of his doctors have been totally transparent with him. Could I talk to his PCP and suggest that his PCP review his code status with him and what the different choices mean?[/quote] Don’t waste your time. Elderly people often get incredibly selfish as they age. When your step mother complains tell her to get an aide or move to an independent/assisted living community instead of staying in their home. And repeat over and over. Don’t get sucked into it being your problem if they won’t do either. [/quote]
