(34,143 posts)24. I'll share some of your pain.
I got a pacemaker about 3 years ago. I read the average life for someone my age that got a pacemaker is 5 years. The only thing going for me is I dont have any A-fib.
I really dont wish to out live my loved ones, but would like to outlive all of my enemies.
Peace be with you.

Old gal here. I hope that's the way I go, nice and easy. Very sorry for your loss, but I believe he's still with you.

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's very difficult (and sobering) to watch same-age classmates *
