I hear Less is available, and a talented skull-fucker. Win-win.

Oh Dear. The butt wiping would be from Mum, not hubby. And not an expectation, but only if she wanted to. And of course I'd hope he'd go on with his life. I just also hope he'd let me go on with mine too.

Well he'll be wanting it from somewhere and there is no WAY I am putting out while in a veggie state. I saw that movie Kill Bill. It's just not right.

I don't think spinal fluid will provide much friction.

I'm not even stepping foot into a hospital anymore unless I'm sure the wife is in a darn good mood.

("And did he even bother to take out the garbage this morning? After I asked him to?! NO!! Unplug the jerk!")

I thought you HAD the fucking form.

I think I need a decision tree. Is he allowed to make decisions about you remaining in a persistent vegetative state for more than 15 years ONLY IF he does not "take up with" another woman? But if he does "take up with" another woman, your mom (who will, btw, presumably die long before you do, so you might want a backup here) is the one to make any decisions?

Does "take up with" encompass a one-night stand/prostitute or only some kind of relationship intended to be longstanding?

So maybe you should just give mum your advance directive with a provision that it shall be unaffected by your subsequent marriage. And don't let hubby be listed as a beneficiary on any life insurance policy. You wouldn't want to display too much trust.

Man, talk about a cold not-quite-dead hand ...

Yeh, but what happens when the we-thought-she-was-a-vegetable wakes up and hubby's found a new schtup? How do you think Tom Hanks felt when he found his way back and Helen Hunt had "moved on"?

Make sure the insurance is in a trust for the benefit of the kids and that Hubby can't get any benefit unless he satisfies the trustee's moral compass.

You kids and your funny euphemisms!

Ultimately relieved. Didn't he meet some hot artist? Helen Hunt is not appealing.

I don't know. But I will be arranging for the decision makers to be: (1) Mom; and then (2) daughter. Whatever they do with me, they will do with me. ETA: but I will also have a living will. The decisions will be ones where the living will doesn't take into account.

Even if you get married? Niiiice. I'm sure your mind won't be changing in the event you meet someone you want to share the rest of your life with.

It was a volleyball. It wasn't all that hot. You should get out more.

I'm sure it will and I could amend the living will then. But although it is wrong, I admit to feeling more comfortable with direct family making these life decisions and for some reason have this hard-to-shake feeling that after a long hospitalization and the possibility that my spouse moved on, my parents or daughter might be better off as the guardians. Though not a veggie example, my Aunt died at 42 leaving two kids and a second husband (not the kids bio dad), and a will that gave everything to the hubby (with the presumption he would share with the kids). Everyone was shocked and upset at her death but 6 months later he was married to a lady who I noticed was eyeing him at the wake. The kids saw none of the money. Right or wrong, these things color my views.

She's sort of a poor-man's Jodi Foster, but she's got her strong points.
