WEll, when I first woke up it hurt like heck! I think I was getting morphine every 5-10 mins or so - but don't remember much in the recovery room - only that I awoke to find my neuro holding my hand - it was very comforting!

Trust me, the pain will pass pretty quickly! You'll need to take it ez for a while, but I know how awful it is to feel helpless (due to MG) and soon you will be feeling GREAT!!!!

You may also want to ask about IV IG b/4 your operation - I had mine for 5 days straight b/4 my surgery - just to keep my strength up!

I was operated on April 22nd and was released April 27th. I was albe to have my niece's birthday party on May 3. I was feeling rough, but it worked out OK!!!

I know how scared you are right now. It's really going to be OK! Your neuro wouldn't recommend this surgery unless he/she thought it would help you!

I was scared out of my mind b/4 my surgery! I sweated through my sheets and cried like a baby, but it all worked out!

If you need to talk anytime, let meknow!!!
