Implanted Defibrillator Posted: 05-04-05 18:57pm


My grandfather is 68 years old and has weak muscles in his heart. The doctor just informed him that he would need this implant. He is retired. Fishing and water fowl hunting are his hobbies. He is worried that he won't be able to fowl hunt anymore with the implant. He is also worried about what to expect. Kim

Hi there! The defibrillator should help your grandpa to be more active without the consequences but I am no Dr. You should write all of the questions down and discuss them with the Dr. Good luck! Sincerely, sandy
