Hi @gigi76,
In my opinion, it is never too early to be thinking about a DNR. It is not an easy discussion, but a necessary one. Thinking about this in advance means that you can rely on your decisions when the time comes. Gigi, I moved your message to the Caregiver's group to bring others into the discussion who may be in a similar situation or have already been where you are now -- members like @IndianaScott @macbeth @martha59 @clayton48 @ladycat @foxylady42.

Gigi, have you talked to a social worker or palliative care nurse about this?

Yes and I am planning to talk to our primary when I go in a few weeks.
