My Dad has had 3 heart attacks (one at 30, one at 33, one at 44). He had quad bypass done 9 years ago in December.
The recovery is difficult at first because he has to rely on everyone for everything. He will need to sleep elevated, he will need help getting out of bed, he will need assistance walking around. He will have to do some sort of lite exercise every day.
It was a long road, but my dad really benefitted from the surgery. It was a slap in the face for him and now he is a gym rat and is eating better and quit smoking.
Good luck to your pops.
