This is a photo of the right side of my chest. There, in the middle, on both sides, of approximately one inch in size, lie two scars created only a few months ago. But first, about a year ago I began to wonder the severity of the huge dent in my chest that seemed to become deeper every year or so, and eventually got it checked out. The doctors took a 3D X-ray of my chest and evaluated the damage. I had a severe concave sternum, and it was highly recommended that I get it fixed. "Fixing" this defect menat going in through my sides, "popping" my sternum out, and placing a very thin stainless steel bar behind it to keep my sternum where it needed to be. Notice the little dot above the large scar. This is where the doctors inserted the camera. The scar that is left from the enrance of both ends of the rod will never completely heal or fade away, and will always remain about an inch in size. These scars help me to remember what I used to have as well as who I was.
