My dad had a triple bypass a few months ago.
He was lucky - didn't have a heart attack or stroke yet, but had chest pains. They took him in and saw 3 arteries were clogged.
He did the surgery and was sore for a couple days, and is still rehabbing - he still can't lift anything heavy including his grandkid, but hes able to move around better now and can drive.
Looks 1,000,000x more healthy than right before/after the surgery too. Foothills is one of the best cardiac wards in Canada, if not THE best, so your mom should be in good hands.
