Rhino, I am sorry for this set back. I wanted to add, Justin did not need a surgery to fix his groin artery, BUT because of his issues they had to use his groin artery/vein for the heart lung machine on his surgery last year. He had about a 4 inch incision, anyway, even with out the additional work your husband had, justin groin botherred him much more then his sternum post op.
I hope it heals soon. BTW IF he finds parts of his thigh numb, Justin did and apparently that can be pretty normal, it cleared up but took months to get all the feeling back, BUT it did come back, Lyn
