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.

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

Thank you sandy. I will do that. I tried

scared.
