A wheelchair lift van would come in handy , , especially if it were fully remote controlled.
Definitely. I knew a surgeon who actually had DNR tattooed on his chest. I have had DNR orders for years but, in a public place, it might be hard to enforce. So, if any of you run across me unconscious and with no pulse, please just leave me alone. Thank you!In addition you should also consider a notarized DNR.

Fortunately, I do have a S&B.
Several months ago our church sponsored a 5 WISHES (https://www.agingwithdignity.org) and there's one next week.
We were given a thin packet of material including a bright orange sheet with a DNR printed on it. I recently started to fill it out, then decided I wanted to make a copy first. I got really sick before I could, but had one written on white bond paper and taped to my entry door just in case.
Days later I couldn't breathe, and called the EMT's. They told me that even with that on the door, they couldn't follow my orders--
IT HAD TO BE ON THE ORANGE PAPER TO BE LEGAL in AZ.
So now I have a few from my docs. One required me to sign it, along with witness and doc signature before they'd let me take it, the other signed it after I did.
I carry one in my wallet and have one taped on my entry door.
My doc did say that if I were conscious and changed my mind with the EMYs there, I could verbally reject the DNR.
Consider looking into it--it says IN THE EVENT OF CARDIAC OR RESPIRATORY ARREST ...
Check your state regulations. And if one from one state is good in the one you're in at the moment.

What, we can't prop you up and get one last selfie with you?

Advice about how to die? What would this life be like if we would embrace our Elders and treat them with the respect they desire, as long as they desire it?
I know I don't want to spend my last frail years wondering.....
Just sayin'
