I had mine 14 months ago and I still am afraid I am going to snap a wire in my chest. I was talking to a chiropractor about this. He said by this point and with all of that wire holding it together it is stronger than it was before.

After my thymectomy, it took me a couple of weeks to be able to tolerate a walk of a few blocks. I currently don't do any strenuous exercise because I can't. I don't have the energy. I do go on walks, use the Wii Fit, and play catch with my daughter. This summer I did some long bike rides with my kids.

Good luck with your recovery.

You're 17 though and I hope you can get back to full speed.

I have the same heavy leg feeling you are describing. I sometimes felt as if I had no quadricep muscles. Now that I have been on CellCept for 3 months, my leg strength is coming back. After the bike rides my legs felt like jello, I had to walk up most hills and my legs could not support me after the ride.
