No, it's in WAY too many pieces to be stitched up.
*Done
*Gone
*The pieces blown away with the wind
(wife of 13 yrs. divorced me, left the kids and me, the kids then left me for about six months, they're back with me, etc.)
I'm just too tired and beat up to want to ever engage in any kind of a "relationship" ever again ...

Hubby had bypass surgery a few years back. I don't know how typical his experience was, or if there IS a 'typical' experience, but here's his story. They used surgical glue to close the skin incision, stitches in the underlying tissue, and what look on xrays like twist-ties to hold the sternum together. The only thing besides dressings he had to have removed was a drain, and that came out before he came home. A big drawback of the staples is the raised ropy scar they leave. I haven't heard of dissolving ones, but there's new stuff in medicine all the time. DH's glue left only an extremely thin flat whitish line, but he's fair-skinned so people never notice even when he's shirtless. His incision also itched off-and-on for years, and he occasionally used an OTC anti-itch cream on it. DH didn't need it but many people use Mederma or ? (can't think of the other big brand) scar treatment (also OTC). Most think it helps, and it also works on old scars. Your bf may want to look into it. I assume he's still under a doctor's care, so it might be a good idea to double-check any concerns with the doc. Good luck.

I think that all the stitching is complete for now, but the actual healing will be a long time in coming!!

Yes, since the broken pieces hurt so much, the stiches wouldn't be a big deal.

Perhaps, but at the moment I am okay. As long as I don't invite anyone else in, I should be just fine.
