Debra, Have you done anything in the past week? Gone out? It's not as easy as do this, rest and get better.
I'm not sure I can come up with a good enough analogy for recovery time and MG. A boomerang? If you throw a boomerang (MG is the boomerang) a few feet, it will take a shorter amount of time to come back. If you could actually throw it from Australia to the U.S., it would look like an MG crisis recovery time. The worse MG gets, the harder it is to recover from. Or think of something that looses elasticity the more you "stretch" it. It will eventually snap.
You were very recently in the hospital. It is going to take you longer to recover than if you just went out and got groceries!
Hang in there. I hope your docs take really good care of you this week and that you get better.
Annie
