Hi Tinna,

Not sure if you will get a chance to read this before your surgery, but I just wanted to wish you the best of luck, I had my thymectomy via full sternotomy done a few years ago, as a single parent of 2 toddlers I found it a bit more difficult, I was in hospital 11 days post op, the first 2 days I really dont rememeber much, recovery I think for the first 3 weeks was really hard and I was on regular pain meds, if you have a comfy lazyboy chair to sleep in it helps as I found it really hard to get in and out of bed. At the time I was also studying nursing so I was back at Uni within the 3rd week, keep your huggy pillow clsoe by, dont lift anything heavy and keep up with the pain meds )

I wish you the best of luck, let me know how you go.
