Yes, Jeff, you are right. I am Mom's POA and legal guardian. There is an instrument that is all-encompassing and includes PoA for health care, finances and living will. I forget what it's called; I'll look it up.
I bumped the discussion of Mom's surgery on my blog and here it is: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,9381.msg685707.html#msg685707

Yeah, we had that, too. If you do it in a lawyer's office (which we did, though I don't know if you have to) I think they do all three pretty automatically, in one big folder.

My lawyer did that when I had a will drawn up.
It's a good idea to review all these documents from time to time. I need to do that myself.

Mom didn't eat or drink anything last weekend, but her vital signs are all good and she has resources to go on for quite a while, especially since she's sleeping most of the time now. :'(

Sometimes you have to be inventive with food.
My grandmother was never a big eater, and it decreased when she got to the facility. However, she liked popsicles, so mom would bring one or two that were made with all natural fruit, so that gram would get some sort of nutrition on days that she wouldn't eat.
