Reply to LPT Request: Long history of Alzheimer’s/Dementia in my family, what do I do now to help myself later by ItsYaBoyKevinHere
A living will.
My mom was very clear that she didn't want any medical attention once she was non-verbal.
She wanted the highest level on non-intervention possible. No antibiotics, no surgery, no IV hydration, nothing.
It made our lives SO MUCH easier, because that is often the best thing to happen (it speeds death for people who don't want to live that way) and we had absolutely no doubt or second guessing because she was very clear while she was lucid.
Make your desires clear, write them down and give them to many people so someone who disagrees or loses strength in those last hard hours doesn't mess with your plan.
No matter what level of care you choose, write it down.

And unique, style-wise.
I love watching her switch from using her thumb to using fingers in mid-bar.
She tends to play the lower strings with her thumb and the higher ones with fingers but that’s not always the case. It’s so fun to watch.
