[QUOTE="tigerrose01, post: 2908465, member: 16307"] I split my sternum in a head-on collision in 2000...caused by the seatbelt...they didn't find it until 2 weeks later when I went to train some folks to scuba dive in a pool. I spent an hour or so at 12 ft teaching/reviewing underwater sign language, then, when I was leaving the pool, I couldn't even get out of the pool nor breath correctly. Trip 2 the ER revealed the split sternum. That was slow healing because they have no way to position it since every breath makes it move. It was a couple of months before I could shoot again comfortably...and that's without any heart surgery. As others have said, be cautious... You only have one heart and it needs to keep you hunting... [/QUOTE]
