Hi,
My Husband also went through the same thing last December.
He will probably be on quite a lot of medication to begin with but apart from that, he will be fine, although a little tired as twizzle mentioned.
Gentle exercise will help him.

Hell have to start off slow,walking a few hundred yards,then build up gradually. He should get heart rehabilitation exercises at your local hospital for a few weeks where they will monitor his B/P and heart rate. Hopefully,if he does as the doc says,and keeps to a reasonably healthy diet,he will be fine. Failure of stents is few and far between
