I was talking to Robert this morning about his recent health scare and he was reminding me how important it is that we celebrate the gifts of life and family that we have and often take for granted. The point is certainly well taken and I'm relieved to hear that RK si on the mend! Being in hospital is never a good experience but the refocus it can bring on "what's important" can be a positive side effect.
In part because of what has been happening with Robert, I have been thinking lately about other medical issues.
Incredibly, I got Robert's email right after reading an article about advanced directives for health care providers. (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204044204574356423438598710-email.html).
The article makes reference to a GREAT website for creating your own advanced directive www.caringinfo.org/stateaddownload. It's free and legal in all fifty states. I downloaded and completed mine this morning ... took ten minutes. Check it out!
