Well....they saw right down the middle of your breast bone and open you up
like a clam........ When they are done they wire it all back together. I
have everything from numbness to one place that feels like I just got hit by
a .357 magnum (and everything in between)....... I guess it will go away
after some time, at least I hope so. ....... The doc said the sternum takes
anywhere from 3-6mos to heal, depending on the individual. I am on a 2 lb
lifting limit until about Apr.
