         SO I FINALY GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AFTER MY THYMECTOMY..... IT WAS NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT BUT THEN AGAIN I WAS EXPECTING THE WORST. THE LAST THING I REMEMBER BEFORE THE THYMECTOMY WAS ME SEEING THEM PUT A CLEAR LIQUID INTO 1 OF MY 18 I.V'S AND I SAID "IS THIS THE ANESTHETIC?" AND OF COURCE IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS KNOCKED OUT LESS THAN A SECOND AFTER THAT. BUT I REALY THINK THAT THE WORST PART OF THE WHOLE EXPERIANCE WAS HAVING THEM PULL OUT MY CHEST TUBE WHILE I WAS STILL AWAKE.... A CHEST TUBE IS A TUBE (OBVIOUSLY) THAT RAN FROM MY RIGHT ARM PIT AND INTO MY BODY LEADING TO THE BOTTOM OF MY LUNG. ONE OF THE DOCTORS JUST WALKED IN SAT DOWN AND WITH NO WARNING SLOWLY BEGAN TO PULL IN THE TUBE UNTIL IT WAS OUT AND THEN STICHED ME UP WITH OUT NUMBING MEDICINE.
