Creature of Mad Enthusiasms

In between is the medical power of attny, which lets someone else make the decisions between the points when you can make them and when they need the living will. Highly recommended, and with a "cascade" instead of a single name. (Mine gives power, in total, to my brother. If he's not around, to my father. Etc. until I run out of family... although come to think of it, I should have a non-family member in the loop somewhere.)
