Default Post Tymectomy

I'm now 6 days post Thymectomy and I'm feeling great, I'm probably doing WAY to much, but I seem to be handling it okay.

My neurologist said that in a month the thymus antibodies should be out of my system and I could start to wean myself off of the Mestinon and suggestions of what the best way to do this would be?

He has also said that I won't need IVIG anymore.... Which kind of scares me, I relied on this every month and would be fairly weak by the time my 28 days was up, I'm very pessimistic about this whole situation.

Also, please don't judge me on this, I smoke marijuna and I'm wondering if anyone knows when it is safe to smoke again after them collapsing my lung???

I did the Thymectomy in hopes it will put me into remission although I'm not holding my breath.
