It reminds me, my will, Advanced Decision and Advanced Statement are all sitting in my inbox for me to print off, sign and get witnessed. It’s important to have a will, if only to save problems for near ones left behind.

In all honesty my thoughts on this subject is that making out a will at this point in my life would truely make this diagnosis seem legitly like a death sentence. I am trying to look at this as just another part of who I am

I have no will, I do have an advance directive that I have not filled out yet. Not sure who to put on it. My cousin agreed to make my decisions if I couldn't, which is cool. I had second thoughts on that when I was in the hospital for two weeks, and he knew it, but never came to visit me. The Hospital is 14 miles / 23 km from his house. I live 76 miles / 122 km from the hospital. If he couldn't visit even once in two weeks, I don't think I should have him on it. I don't know though.
