He's on meds for now but may need a stent at some point. The cardiologist said to get on the bicycle again and keep riding. Exercise is good. And he seems to have a bit more energy since he's been on the meds.
My closest family member had a TBI, the years of doctors and therapy and anguish were brutally exhausting. It was impossible for me to work.

I cannot imagine what you went thru. Sorry to read and hear that.
