I had triple bypass surgery with "complications" 13 years ago. Complications: they let me cough myself apart twice, then let me get infected, cut some of my sternum and rib cage away and used "flap" surgery to hold me together. According to my wife, seven surgeries in six weeks, then another six weeks of rehab, plus a few months of out-patient therapy. Before the year was out, though, I managed to put TTI headers and X-pipe exhaust in my 67 Barracuda.
