In response to:

I can not answer your question because I am in the hospital at this time with my sternum removed and a open chest waiting for the doc to close my chest. they are going to use both of my chest museals to do what is called adouble pectorial flap. The doc said I would lose the ability to pish an that I had to be careful not to get hit in the chest. I am wondering how painful this operation is going to be. I would not think it could be any more painfil than it was when the doc took out my sternum. I hope you or someone could tell me how painful this is going to be?
