Well...your mother has undergine the surgical intervention for heart problem..
Its a good sign that she looks quite well...
There many studies have been done on quality of life after the surgical intervention ..these studies shows that it has greater outcome...
I have seen patients that has lived for 8-12 years quite well but they were not taking the drugs regularly.
