I understand and your post is an excellent example of why it is so important for each of us to have this conversation with our family and have a medical proxy. Each of us is different and needs to make sure we know our personal desires clearly. Not only to ensure we get what we want but that we don't put them in the awkward position of fighting with each other over what they want.
