Quick side note to you Sorch....I bet your Mum complained more about her leg. Everyone I know, including myself, who's had a bypass always complains more about the vein removal site. Hurts like hell!!! Always struck me weird that most of the longer term pain associated with having your chest cut open was in your leg instead!!! Did your Mum ever try to go through a metal detector? I can't go through one stark naked without setting the damn thing off....the wire staples in my sternum are enough to do it.
