I also had a triple bypass surgery in1991 and it got infected within a week.  Back to the hospital for IV antibiotics and debreeding.   I was in the hospital for 4 months.  They took out my sternum, did the muscle flap  and a skin graft as they had debreeded so much it couldn't be closed.  I still have constant pain in my chest and back.  I can not lift more than 5 pounds and I am very caeful about being in crowds.  I can't stand anyone to touch my chest or back.  I carry a pillow in the car to put under the seat belt in front of my chest.  My doctor suggested that.  Hope your father does well,  Karen in Delaware
