Statue of Liberty Chest

As the sawed in half chest starts to heal, it feels like the Statue of Liberty with all its copper ribs. When I breathe in, my chest doesn't expand. Just feel the pain on the glued bones. Now I know why the doctors don't want us to ride in a car during the first two months after the operation. With every bump of the car, I can feel the pain in my chest as the lungs, heart, and other organs move around my abdomen. Even though I have lost weight, it is a surprise to find that I cannot button or belt my pants at the old position. Seems like the organs in my chest have moved down a little and have enlarged my waistline.
