My father is 95 years old. He has demintia and is type 2 diabetic. His dr. has strongly suggested he put a pace maker in. I don t have all the details as my brother lives in same state and I m in a different state. I was looking into comments of putting a pace maker into a 95 year old. He has had bladder cancer many years ago. He was in hospital for 30 days maybe 10 years ago. It was from complications from surgery to one of his heart valves. They all just crumbled and ended up in surgery for many many hours and ICU for 30 days. No one thought he would make it but he did. They reconstructed everything going to the heart. ?? I know I m so not using the right wording. Anyway my question is should he have the pace maker put in? I m just scared this simple procedure may turn into the same as last one. I am the medical authority and am just confused as to what to do? Thank you Pam
