My husband did great for Abdominal Aneurysm little to nothing in recovery. But 2 yrs ago he had Thorastic at his heart and that was bad, he was in and out of hospital with infection. They had to stop his heart when they did this operation . When he came home I was his nurse I had to pack is wound and give him antibyotics threw IV. I am not a nurse but it went well. Lots of luck and I wish your husband well.
