What if Someome had copies of the actual signed DNR form posted on/near Their body when they were found?
Hard to tell.... honestly probably depends on the doctors/people in the medical place. Some might not care, others might. Some might be 'hmm... that's too suspicious, maybe it's a murder/suicide!' and do it anyway. you never know.

Without going into details... I was a CNA as mentioned before.

I don't want to be revived. Even if I wasn't suicidal, I wouldn't want revived. I don't have a DNR because I also know, they don't know if you even have one, and the default is to assume you don't have one, and only stop once they confirm beyond doubt you do have one, and then only after your family decides if it should apply.

So really a DNR is useless, sadly.

but sometimes they do follow it if they know for certain
I have a DNR. That's just not right! So they will always err on the side of keeping you alive, even if it's against your wishes and it means you're going to be a vegetable for the next 20 years. :meh: And they have no clue how disgusting and disrespectful that is to a person. . . And they probably don't care anyway.
Me too haha. I also love the wormy episode
Oh! I like that one as well. SpongeBob was just a good show. I guess that's why it ran for so long. Or, is it still running? I know the creator passed away, which was very sad. I wasn't sure if they had continued the show after his death or not? They never seem to run out of funny material. Or new ways to torture Squidward. :pfff:

Well, it depends on the place. I mean if they find out you have one... and you're already alive after they performed it, but you don't need machines.... you're probably screwed. If you do need machines--lucky day, they turn them off.

It's like with my grandma, they knew she had one--they asked he daughter and husband if she 'really meant it' basically!

when I was in a nursing home, they had to 'error on side of he wanted to live' so we had to 'save his life' until we knew he had a dnr'

ok driving home now

Has life just become a monotonous bore for anybody else?
It's almost like I'm doing things on auto pilot now. For example, it's a little after 3 PM here and I'm starting to think about what I want for eat and if I'm going to be forced to cook anything. Luckily, yesterday I made that chicken and rice so I'll be eating the rest of that tonight. Two minutes in the microwave.
However, I don't really eat because I'm hungry or because I enjoy the food. I'm just eating because I have to take meds at night that require food and because I haven't eaten for the rest of the day.
Then after dinner, I'll take out my contact lenses and put on my pajamas, even if it's 5 PM. Then I spend the evening watching the same old things on TV, sometimes with the sound off and sometimes not, and surfing the net. Either on this site or, if it goes down, looking at Pinterest or something until the site comes back up. While I'm doing that, I'm either eating chips or cookies or candies or something of that sort and drinking either soda, hot cocoa, or liquor. Some nights I'll have music on instead of the TV, but when I'm typing on here I usually have to shut the music off while I'm typing because I can't type and listen to the music at the same time anymore because of my brain fog and my inability to concentrate. Then I just do that until I get so tired that I can't stay awake, which can sometimes not happen until 4 AM or 5 AM the next morning. Then I eventually fall asleep. Then I wake up the next morning and I'm immediately upset that I woke up because I feel like total crap- again! And then the day starts all over again and it's the exact same thing as it was the day before. :notsure:

Yeah that's been my life for a while. Just autopilot until CTB.

Life is always just routine anyways. Our routines just aren't very pleasant as we are on our respective ways out.

Oh and to clarify the DNR thing... it's a grey area.... DNR could include like 'hit head on diving board, pulled out, needs breaths' to 'intubated with machine'
some may say it could include 'choking intervention'....

so unless a DNR is specific and says EXACTLY what you mean, they will error on side of caution, and ask family. Which I honestly I get. Most people wouldn't think that if they had a DNR they wouldn't be watching dr's watch them die on a lollipop in a ER, but they would think they wouldn't have CPR or have a feeding tube or be hooked up to machines to keep them alive.

But some people have a DNR and the family just intreprets it (and even the person) as a "well they just didn't want to be kept alive indefinitely by machines"

so huge variation.

Not sure what's going on. My mood seems to be all over the place today.

Earlier today I was really angry and irritated for no particular reason. Now I just kind of feel empty and depressed. I'm trying to eat my dinner and I don't even want it. I'm struggling to eat at least enough so I can take my pills. Everything just seems so futile. :notsure:

I'm a little worried about swallowing the SN.
What if I can't do it? I know people have complained about this before on this forum, but I wish there was a switch that you could flip to just eliminate yourself. Turn yourself off like a light. I'm so tired of being here and dealing with all the crap involved with existence. In a way, I'm envious of my husband, at least he got to have drugs while he was dying. But I don't really know what the process was like for him. I just know they gave him drugs to mask any horrible effects that the family might notice. It's ironic to me that they gave him drugs and forced him to die when he didn't want to. I would give anything to have drugs and be able to die, and they won't let me have any. :eh:

You should get whatever you want @Jean4. :heart:
Also, do you think this is a sign? I just posted my worries about swallowing the SN and then I refreshed the site, and Stan's SN thread came up.

Hmm... would that be a sign that Stan is saying to stay, or that Stan is saying you'll be confident though?

Or maybe he is saying it's not your time. ;)
