I can tell you, a friend of my had this done in January and it took a couple
of months to recover completely. If your SO sticks to what the doctors
recommend he'll be fine and dandy. He's now out and about doing all the
things he used to do. Just make sure your SO continues to take whatever
meds are required and not over-do. The doc can tell your SO what is okay
and what isn't.
