Like a Living Will? That's another source of annoyance with me. She has all 
the paperwork, and we had to give copies to the hospital when she was 
admitted in October for her masectomy. Now they want me to submit it all 
again because they can't find it. Geez; didn't they ever hear of filing 
cabinets, in alphabetical order? I don't think medical tracking is going to 
be a privacy concern, if this hospital is any indication. They couldn't find 
their butt with both hands, let alone track information on a patient.

Thanks; I have to call and find out when they are transferring her to the 
rehab center, then I'll go visit and get her settled in.
