An Uncomfortable Topic

[Paula ult]

Since i will be having my GCS in 82 days, it is major surgery and although hardly anyone dies from GCS, i still need to be prepared just in case i am one of the rare cases that do, i needed to update my last will and testament, i was long overdue updating itl, the one i have was still in my old name and probably was not legal anymore since it is in my old name, it was written in 2005.

I took my old one and updated everything, now to go to a lawyer and have them rewrite it and file it with the court.

So much to do and think about.

Not fun, but something you need to do. Unless you have a large estate or a complicated will, you really don't need a lawyer. You DO need to have it witnessed. I went to the bank and signed mine in front of the notary who then signed and put her seal on the will.

I also prepared a "Toe Tag" kit and left it on my desk. The kit included, in addition to the will, a copy of my living will (TAKE THE ORGINAL LIVING WILL WITH YOU AND GIVE TO THE DR.), Deed to the house, titles to vehicles, copies of insurance policies, account numbers and related information for all credit card, bank accounts and investment accounts, burial instructions and final letters(in sealed envelopes)to be given to family members. Bsasicaly all the documents my executor would need.

The dress I want to be buried in was dry cleaned and layed out on my bed along with stockings etc.

I am so excited for you - 89 days and you will be a post menapausal virgin!

Michele, I do have a living will but had not thought about getting the rest together, thank you, i will start getting the rest together.

This topic i had never seen before on forums, it is important for everyone to have things in order, not just for surgery but for the unexpected getting hit by a bus.

Paula,

Thank you for this topic. It's not something we like to think about, but it is entirely necessary. Dying is hard enough on the loved ones. Leaving them without instructions makes it that much worse. I've even left my esposa instructions for how to log on here should she need to deliver bad news.

Dee Jay with any major surgery there is a risk of dying, do not worry i am sure everything will go just fine, i heard of one person that died from srs, but it was after surgery had been completed and from what i hear their own fault, surgery is forcing me to get some things done that i had been putting off.

You can not rid of me that easily
