Glad to hear you're doing well. Once the chest tubes come out you'll feel so much better. Hope you're being a patient patient!

im home now and continuing to improve. Overall the pain has not been too bad. sleeping is not too easy. i did buy a large wedge pillow that i sleep upright on, that helps keep me on my back as well rather than rolling onto my side which is not allowed. Not sure about my mg symptoms except that nothing got worse and that my neuro has dropped my prednisone dosage since ive been discharged from the hospital which is great. i hate that stuff. my scar is large but not awful and aside from being limited with what i can lift and do i feel pretty good. hoping to see some more improvement in mg symptoms as i continue to wean off of prednisone.

Glad you're getting better. Regarding your MG symptoms... keep in mind that it is typically a long term fix if it fixes it for you. Most people for whom the thymectomy works don't see the full impact of it for a year or two. I hope it does help you lots; I wouldn't want you to get disappointed when improvement comes slowly though.
