Hello Everyone,
I will likely need aortic valve replacement as my stenosis progresses.
I have taken advance health care directive classes and read about the process. I do not have confidence based on what I am reading that I can get discharged home instead of a SNF if a disabling stroke occurs as complication.
It seems that one's own choices can be ignored if doctor assesses one as not competent to make one's own decisions.
For me, losing control of my independence to live at home would be the worst possible nightmare. I would rather live a shorter lifespan but one that is within my control than a longer one in a SNF.
I would like to find legal support for my returning home if a major stroke occurs. Does anyone have any experience with the law or which type of lawyer to work with.and any success protecting their rights in this regard?
Thanks in advance.
