So sorry to hear your husband’s news Scentia. Many of DH’s family have had stents successfully put in, including his nephew, who called in this morning. Nephew was only about 40 at the time as far as I can remember, and seemed a very fit young man, when he blacked out while driving along a fortunately deserted country road. Obviously he was taken to hospital where they discovered the cause and told him that he could either go home and wait till he got to the top of the list or stay in for a week and they would do it then. He opted to stay and wait for the week, which as he was the fittest in the ward he spent helping others wash, get out of bed, eat etc. Had the operation, was in for a very short time and made a complete recovery. Almost 30 years later he now has other health problems but nothing to do with the stents fitted so long ago.
I’m sure your husband will do well and his previous good health will stand him in good stead.
