We have had power of attorney paperwork completed to enable me to communicate and make some decisions on her behalf when she is unable. (Some days she is great and functions completely normally and others not so much.)

Does anyone have any advice or words of wisdom that might be useful to someone navigating a situation like ours? Should we be armed with anything else in addition to power of attorney paperwork? I'm certain there are things I'm not aware of that would be useful, and I'm so overwhelmed at this point. I'd very much appreciate anything anyone is willing to offer either publicly or in private message.

Thanks so very much.
Lyric.... I'm sorry to hear about Toxic's health. I wish you both well.

I wish I could help you out. I don't know the answers. I think is a good topic and could help a few people out in their time of need as well.

Good luck to you!
