Stents
A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know it was asked before but I ask again for newbies. How many stents and how long 😍

I had 4 stents immediately while having a massive heart attack last June. They let my heart heal until October, and then proceeded to perform a triple by-pass. I am still doing physical rehab at the hospital twice a week, and I go to the gym to walk, 3 times a week. I must say, I am feeling pretty darn good. Doc's are very happy with my progress, and don't foresee any issues. Will get checked again by my Cardiologist this summer in June. Hopefully, things will be even better. I am a very lucky man.

I had the heart attack and got my first stent in January of this year, and the other two in March. I made some changes, stopped smoking, went part time. My blood pressure is normal (medicated with three kinds of meds) Diabetes under control (Meds for that too) Got until March of next year to continue anti platelet meds for the stints. But most importantly, I have a peaceful household since listening to more music and reading, than watching TV.
