My Dad is 96 next month, swims a mile 3 times a week, walks often and far.........and is getting a pacemaker tomorrow morning. I am a basket case. Tough for me to even BE in a hospital. Prayers, good thoughts, stand on your heads, whatever is needed to help my Dad get thru this please. Thank you.

Hi! I will definitely pray for your Dad and you too! My Dad has been having a lot of health issues especially with his heart and needed cardiac catheterization about a month ago. I was scared to death too! I felt like \"I just can\'t take this!\" but all went well. He has had a pacemaker for about 10 years now and the procedure itself isn\'t bad so try not to be too scared. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers throughout the day. Sue

Your Dad is 96 and swims a mile?? I don\'t think I can do that!!! Wow - he must be in good shape, 96 or not!

Pacemaker operations today are a piece of cake. No biggie (really). He\'ll come through with flying colours and then ask when he can go swimming again!

Sending lots of hugs your way. It must be hard to walk back into a hospital. Keep your chin up. Will keep your dear Dad in my prayers (you too!)

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dad as he gets his pacemaker. He sounds very active for a 96 year old man. Good for him. All the best to you as well from Diane B.
