So i plugged her old computer and retrieved more X-rays from there again under the form of screenshots (data is on a CD and i don't know where is at and she is sleeping). It looks like in the X-ray i posted on fb in 2016 there are 2 sternum wires out of frame and in the newest X-ray 2 or 3 at the bottom were missing because they were removed (for comfort as they said).
So those are both her X-rays and there are no wires except for the sternum wires provided there is enough contrast and focus to be seen cause in this image they appear much thinner than the sternum wires and they disappear in the whiter area and the newer images are not so sharp and maybe i can sleep tonight (after i chill a little). Everything else i wrote is true, to the best of my knowledge.
First image is done in 2016, the rest are from now. The viewer app back then also had a contrast adjustment. Also it was done at an angle so the wires can be seen.







2:00 Tough image quality is very low, i think i see here in the center of this image at least one loop similar to the one 9 years ago. Though they might have moved a little
2:25 No i might not sleep well tonight.

10:42 It all comes down to this. After enhancing it a little (contrast, sharpness) i see some V shaped patterns close to sternum that could be part of S or Z shape patterns but they are at least 3 sort of irregular, thick and washed out to be wires. Could be ribs. Or could be the wires, corroded and broken to pieces?
Question. Why in the old picture (with more contrast) the sternum appears to be larger with the (sternal) wires tight and in the new one the bone is smaller with the wires loose? Is this what they call bone loss?;

12:36 Ok i found the colored one. Screenshot done on December 19 2016 i think 2 days after the follow up with dr.Swanson, who removed the hanging sutures at one month after surgery during which Angela took several showers of course.

Even though clipping the wires is not uncommon in older patients to avoid the risk of heart bleeding when pulled, he (the PAS) clipped them too long. One more surgery was done in that month of December 2016 when they pulled two of the wires and hid the other too under the skin. One more surgery in the summer of next year, 2017 to remove the remaining wires. One more surgery, can't remember when right now, to fix the hernia created by the previous two or three.
7:17 We got back from the MRI about an hour ago after we went to Mashita Teryaki here in Tualatin, got some food to go. One thing i can tell. The portions get smaller everywhere.
While we were eating, someone, rather light came and started to work the floor upstairs, never stopped since.
I used to get filled with a takeout box like that. Not anymore.
