My condolences for your father. That sounds like a lot of years to live through a really bad situation for everyone involved. :(

Thanks for the extra info on DNR. I think I understand now.

My pleasure. My dad had his flaws, but he tried to do right whenever he could.

He survived polio, and after he was told by doctors that he would be lucky to walk again, he not only was walking right up until he was admitted into the nursing home (and for nearly a year after too), but he also was able to drive, both a car and a motorcycle, and he learned to fly a plane, stuff that the doctors would have said would be impossible for him.

He was a teacher in a local highschool and taught computers in the 80s and 90s, into the 2000s, when he retired from teaching. Because of this, we always had a computer at home, which is how I learned, and I work in IT support now, in no small part because there was always a computer at home. Even back in the days of DOS....
