I am very happy for you and your father. It is a procedure that is so much easier on the body, and allot of people have had wonderful results from it. I am glad your father was one of them.
I went through all the anxiety and so forth that goes along with worrying about a loved one, as both my father and my sister went through open heart surgeries. But my dads was over ten years ago, and since he has diabitis, he has developed problems once again, but they are unable to help him. So he takes different heart meds, but they only help so much. Mind you he has many more health issues too that contribute to our worrying about him. My sister also has diabitis, and was only 44 when she had to have open heart. The conplications she had made us worry as at first they could not find any arteries that they could use, her diabitis had caused another problem to them, so they were going to put her on the heart transplant list. Then they found arteries in her arms that would work, the good news is that the arteries used from the arms seem to last longer then the ten years most heart patients get from the ones used in the legs. Drawback for her is she has massive scarring on both her arms, but she is alive. Both of them developed complications afterwards too, dads legs would not heal for about six months, and Cindy developed blood clots. So both of them couldn't start to walk to excercise and begin building the hearts strength up. My sister is doing okay now, working again also. So your dad is soooo lucky. Both my dad and my sister had the stints too, but because they had more arteries involved and the complications of being diabetics they ended up needing the open heart. They had extremely poor health to begin with. But look at Lou, Barb's husband, he has done amazing.
And I would also like you to know that I had wrote this reply last night, but fell asleep before posting it. And they have to back up sometime, that is the first thing I thought of. That I had screwed that up for Wayne, but not so, the back up was done. I rewrote this and it should show up this time. I have been having a rough time the last couple of days. For some reason the pain has been increased. Could be the extreme heat, and or the extreme smog outside. Who knows. But I have been falling asleep at the drop of a hat.
For now, I will leave you with
