Had one 8 years ago (almost to the day) and had 5. Quintuple, I guess.
I didn't have a heart attack or something similar, but in trying to figure out the Afib they discovered blockages and said that an angioplasty wasn't going to work.

Recovery is no fun, but once your stitching heals up you'll be back normal.
They'll get you signed up for cardio rehab. It'll seem like a PIA to go 3 times a week, but you really need to keep at it for the required number of weeks.

This might be scary, but it is going to make you better!
