I was introduced to
Just Sold briefly a few years ago, and it certainly personalized the original post!
I
was distressed and am now hearing the great news of a near-full recovery.

Ditto.
I have a minor heart problem myself (right bundle-branch block), and my Dad had a quadruple bypass when he ran out of get-up-and-go.
Last year, his doctor told him, "The warranty has run out on your bypass surgery".
However, it's been all-good—without further interventions—
for over thirty years! 
Medically, at least, we live in wondrous times.

That's great news.
While it's fresh in your mind, do you have any advice for the rest of us "sedentary types" regarding statin drugs and daily walks? (Not so much for
jogging, I'm hearing).
I've also heard that having a stent is actually good news for a heart patient: Some have had coatings applied that extend the useful life of a stent,
unlike the stent that plagued former VP Cheney.
Is a coated stent the one you received?
