Is Numbness In Left Arm And Fingers Post Valve Replacement And Bypass A Cause For Concern?

My partner just had open heart surgery, She had a valve replacement and a bypass. She just got home today - 7days after surgery. She has numbness in her left arm and three fingers. She is concerned because she is a massage therapist. What do you know about this?
