So they have me on all kinds of meds, and will watch me closely. So adjusting my diet and exercise are in store. they ran a test yesterday, and the stent has already increased the pump rate of my heart...supposed to be around 50-60% - pre-surgery it was at 32%...yesterdays' test showed it back up to 38% already. So prognosis is good. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers!

Get well soon! 90% blockage is scary shit. Glad they caught it early enough to still be able to surgically repair with a stint.
