I think the operative words here are personal physician and family concerns. Other than that it looks like the young man can do as he pleases as far as physical exertion. Great news for him that he has options.

This surgery is about the same as implanting a pacemaker. It's not like open heart surgery. The only required access to the heart is to attach the leads from the device to the heart. I don't believe that requires cutting (possibly not even much spreading) ribs. It requires penetrating the protective sac around the heart, so there is an infection risk.
My 93-year-old mother had a pacemaker installed last spring. Recovery was in the range of one week, and she struggles to recover from medical procedures.
Considering the range of possible outcomes, I think this one is toward the positive end of the possibilities.
A RS year for caution and evluation is likely, but depending on what the doctors, coaches, D.J's parents, and D.J. decide, he might be able to go this year. This year would take a very optimistic prognosis from medical. Doctors aren't normally that optimistic.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.
