| Your body in water is really a teeter-totter with it's fulcrum somewhere between your waist and your sternum. |
| The shaft should be perpendicular to the ground, with the grip pointing just forward of your sternum. |
| The trapezius may send a fascicle to the sternum and to the deltoid muscle. |
| If it divides higher than usual, it may incline to the left rising in front of the trachea above the sternum. |
| Bleeding was noted when the patient was returned to the operating room for repair of the sternum. |
| The wires holding the sternum together are permanent, but the stitches closing the wound will gradually dissolve. |
