New Mexico Dnr: Fill & Download for Free

There are a few schools of thought on this and they all have merit.Pick an armpit. hole in the wall, low population county nobody likes hunting. Because there are more tags than locals your odds go up.<right up until every other idiot starts doing this too. >Hunt as a party. Some state lotteries give preference to hunting parties.If you're trying to win an out of state tag, go with an outfitter. Most states give the outfitters preference in number of out of state tags. New Mexico springs to mind as one of those states.In a first choice, second choice, third choice system, don't be that guy the writes the same county in for all 3 spots. You're asking fate and the DNR to slap you. If you live in a fourth choice state, fill it in. Don't be one of those whiney crybabies that won't fill a doe tag. You know they taste good too!Get your application in early as opposed to the nick of time. Not only does it improve your overall chances, the way most of the selection programs work your chances of getting your first choice go up.Switch to archery instead of firearms. If your state lets you decline the firearm for a second archery tag, do it! Killing out on dual archery/firearm decline is a good way to draw bonus tags in a lot of places. While the firearm season lottery is hotly contested, the archery tags are often plentiful.

I do. It was back in January of 2009. I had just turned 35 years old when I got a call to fly to New Mexico because my mom had been battling cancer for the last two years, and she was asking that I come home.It was heartbreaking because initially, she had been diagnosed with stage four small cell carcinoma. Before it was all said and done, the cancer had gone from her lungs, to her bones, her liver, and I think also her blood.My mom was a fighter and she had proven it once before. In her late forties, she almost died from cirrhosis. They were continually having to drain fluid off her liver, and since she was an alcoholic, she couldn't be put on a list for a liver transplant. She went into a six week coma. My sister called to tell me, but I was indifferent, and told her that it didn't matter because she was already dead to me.She came out of her coma and quit drinking for the six month sober requirement. She went to be put on the registry for a new liver, but when they checked her, they said her liver had started repairing itself! Her doctor was baffled and said he'd never seen anything like it. She no longer needed a new liver!A few years later, my mom and I reconnected. She and her sister drove to Illinois from New Mexico with my daughter to bring her back home after a visit. She was finally allowed to see my daughter after many years of being apart. My daughter was twelve.We met in the Wal-Mart of the town I lived in so they could follow me the rest of the way home. I saw my mom and I broke down in tears. I was seeing my mom with the love of the eyes of a child again. It reduced me to a feeling I hadn't had since I was seven years old. She asked me if I was okay as I clung to her and cried in the aisle of Wal-Mart. I'm sure she was probably embarrassed because I was making a spectacle of myself and we weren't a touchy-feely family.It was the best visit ever! I loved seeing my mom with her sister. The camaraderie between them was something to behold! I got to know my mom on an adult level, rather than the child-parent relationship we had always had. We became fast friends after that visit.Around six months later, she calls to tell me she has lung cancer. I was floored! She tells me she has quit smoking and she will fight it, just as she had the cirrhosis. She also tells me that she remembers me begging her to quit smoking as a small child. I remember that, too. Several times throughout my life, I begged her. She would always answer with, “I'm going to die from something. I might as well enjoy my life while I can. I could get run over by a bus tomorrow…. “I KNEW very young that she was going to die young from lung cancer. It wasn't something that we were educated about back then. People even smoked in the doctor’s office back in those days. I just knew.Despite the odds, her treatments with chemo (no radiation) worked! Her lung, liver, blood, and bone cancer were in remission! She was cancer free! I was elated!My mom and sister decided to go to the casino to celebrate. My mom had one beer after years without. She just dropped. She was taken to the emergency room. Her brain was full of cancer.She requested I come home. My now 15 year old daughter and I boarded a plane and went. We get to the hospital and I'm only able to see my mom for like three minutes before the doctor got wind that I was there. He is in a hurry to usher me out for paperwork. My mom tells him, “Everything's going to be fine! Reina's here now! “He immediately wants me to sign a DNR. He says that “when" she dies, if I don't sign it, they will be required to try to save her, even if hours pass, and it's not something I should put the family through. I signed it even though I felt like I was betraying her. I knew how much she wanted to live.They sent her home the next day in hospice care. My daughter and I were her primary caregivers in her last few days. It was rough! My sister kept trying to get me to drink with her but I wouldn't because I was already having a hard time taking care of my mom. She was losing her sight and terrified of the dark. She refused to use her bedside toilet, and on that first night insisted my daughter and I help her to her toilet. She panicked about halfway down and threw me into the bathtub and knocked my daughter aside. She was very bruised from the fall onto the toilet seat.In her last few days, her parents and siblings came to see her. We reminisced and had a pretty good time. She would be with us, then she'd be lost in her own hallucinations, or sometimes her past.I fed her her last meal. I picked up some sesame chicken because it was my favorite at the time and she had never had it. She loved it.She would tell me when she wanted her morphine, which wasn't as often as they thought she should have it. She wouldn't take it until she felt like, “someone was picking her bones with a pickaxe.”Her hospice nurse told me I needed to be giving it to her every couple of hours, otherwise, I was unnecessarily making her suffer. I noticed that she would shake her head and clamp her mouth shut when I'd give it to her. Giving her the meds as directed caused her to never fully awaken again. One night, I woke to a repetitive tinking sound. She was beating her hand against the safety rail trying to wake herself up. She bruised the hell out of her hand. I informed her nurse that I would not be giving her any more doses of morphine; she could do it when she came in the morning.After trying herself, the nurse said that she was, in fact, refusing the meds and not to force them on her any more. It didn't matter, the damage was done. She woke up briefly to tell my sister she loved her, then started the “fish out of water “ breathing. I held her hand and told her not to be afraid, just go to the light.We called the ambulance and it took an hour and a half for them to show up. I was glad I signed that DNR. In the time before they came, I chased the heat all around my mom's body with my hand, just pretending that she was still alive.I drank with my sister that night and in the following days to come. It was the beginning of my mid-life crisis. When I returned home and continued drinking, my husband encouraged it. I was far more interesting a drunk than the shy, introverted wife he knew. He said I wasn't living; I was just existing. He wanted us to live. He died two years later. I continued to drink until October 21, 2012.That three and a half years I spent revisiting my own alcoholism was crazy! There was so much shame and guilt I carried, and it all started on the night my mom died with a little pressure from my baby sis.

If they are already dead, why would you try to send them to the hospital? That’s for people who are not dead (yet).For a nursing home in particular, there is a Nurse on duty. They can pronounce a patient — legally declare them deceased. Typically they feel for radial and carotid pulses, before listening apically (over the cheat) for heart sounds. If none have been found after listening for a full 60 seconds, then the person is deceased. This also applies to persons who pass away in the care of hospice, regardless of where they passed away— their death was expected and the hospice physician will sign the death certificate.As for where they send the body— it depends. If they were already on end of life care or hospice, they have either made plans for a certain funeral home or mortuary, or the next of kin selects one. Because the death is somewhat expected, the facility doctor can sign the death certificate.For a resident who passes away unexpectedly, there is usually a protocol in place for what is called an “unattended death”. This is usually the case when a person passes away in their sleep— due to stroke, heart attack, etc— but can sometimes be applied to catastrophic medical events where a person has died suddenly even when there are witnesses, usually because they have already signed a DNR order. In this case the term “unattended” means that there was not a nurse/doctor/paramedic providing direct care at the moment of death.At least in the two cases I have handled myself, the protocol was set by the coroners office (in New Mexico and Nebraska). The non-emergency police number is called to report a death and request the police and coroners office to respond. If there isn’t a nurse on site then the fire department medics can confirm death. The police will take statements and collect information regarding the patients health, medical status, and the events leading up to their passing. Then, the coroners investigator will also take statements and record information. They will also record the scene in the same manner as a crime scene death, in case they have to perform an autopsy or investigate the cause of death.Finally, the deceased will be moved to the coroners office to be placed in cold storage. The body will remain there until the primary physician can be contacted to determine if they will sign the death certificate (usually they have to have seen the patient within a set period of time before their death— in both of my cases it was 6 months). Once the death certificate has been completed they can be sent to the appropriate funeral home or mortuary. If the death certificate is not signed, because the treating physician is not willing to sign or couldn’t be contacted, then an autopsy may be required to rule out foul play.I’m sure there are times when a person passes away on hospice or end of life care and there isn’t a plan in place on who the deceased is supposed to be sent to. I would imagine the coroners office would also step in to take possession if there were no way to resolve that problem with the next of kin relatively quickly. But, I have never, ever seen this happen.Most facilities will insist having a designated person to contact for a resident, usually a relative, but sometimes a friend. Rarely there is truly no one, and usually these patients are prodded to declare their own arrangements, or if they are unable to make decisions for themselves, then the process to have them legally declared a ward of the state is begun, which gets them assigned to a designated person who can make medical and financial decisions on their behalf.
