woo hoo put that foot down woman!! You have to be strong for him, he is feeling weak and vulnerable so you have to be the stronger person, just exactly like you did! It's not giving you power to commit him or anything it's POA IF and WHEN you are needed to make a decision, I think cuz you are his wife legally you are allowed to know all about his health and care from docs or is it still protected by HIPPA? So if it is now you will be able to call the docs, tell them what is up and tell them what he needs and get thier opinion. Like I always call Ron's docs for him and I'm allowed to be told anything about him. Ron also had signed a DNR when he was sick with Non Hodgkins, when he went in this last time for surgery he said "now don't get to quick with that DNR" I wonder if we should take that out now...it was when his chances were bad. Now he's alive and kickin! Hmmm I best check on that.
Go shine your armour for the next time you'll need it and wear it proudly when you do, you have done great!!!
So proud of you!
