This is really, really important.  Make sure she is not on your medical POA if you are incapacitated.  You are a young guy.  Pick someone wlse to be on your health care proxy.
My sister is like this.  My lawyer heavily urged me to take her off my health care proxy. Best move I ever made.

Seriously. Listen to this poster. You are young.  You want a good health care proxy.[/quote]

+1.  My DH (now ex) was a terrible health care proxy.  Even before I met DH, I had given a healthcare PoA to my Dad when I was working in a really risky job/environment.  When I got out of that business, I didn't revoke the PoA (out of laziness) but after a year or two with my DH, I realized how much he sucked at healthcare issues and how he would never defend me nor would he put my interests and desires over his.  I had a very specific conversation with my Dad after that realization reminding him that I never revoked PoA and telling him that I specifically wanted him to make any serious medical decisions for me and not my DH.

Of course, the realization that my DH was neither capable nor had my interests at heart was something that lay at the root of impossible to overcome marital issues.  But, YMMV on that. [/quote]
