Closer Look

Getting a closer look at the surgeons' work... the classic "zipper" scar up the sternum, the thich red-green-brown-black-white wires run from the sticky pads to the ECG machine and monitor the electrical activity of my heart.
The thin red-white wires enter the body and attach to the heart, a temporary pacemaker, external. Second picture, a slightly different angle, shows the pacemaker itself, wrapped in gauze, a surgical glove or two, tape, the mass which is taped to the belly. Also visible is one of the two 1/2" diameter drainage tubes.
