Had defibrillator implanted end of October and on 16 Jan walked Ferrol - Santiago - Finisterre. No problems with pack at all. Similar sized "box" to pacemaker.
Good luck
Well i won the lottery with weather. No rain. Sunny everyday except one. Same to Fisterre. Cold in mornings 12 in afternoons. Accommodation and en route food not so good as most bars closed and several albergues closed.
To fisterre i was somewhat lucky. Alto de pena last night open...
Hi i tried two Marmot jackets.bothleak after about 40 mins. Marmot changed the first reluctantly. I kept the second and tried everything that they suggested. Tech wash followed by nikwax followed by the dryer. After 30 mins water stops beading and after 40 minutes i get damp.
Will go back...

In 2014 walked via de La plata through Astorga. On my own from Granja to Astorga then very busy to Santiago.
2016 on Sanabre. Quiet in the day but company for dinner.
Both very enjoyable. Train from Madrid airport to Zamora easy.
