Hello Everyone,
I had my thymectomy last night at 7pm. I am here in the recovery room this morning feeling good! They didn't have to break my sternum, and have already pulled the drainage tube. They even said I could go home today, but I think that is pushing it, so I'm staying until tomorrow. After everything I've been through--4 hospital stays since April--to have this go so well, I just can't believe it and had to share something positive!!

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend!
Thank you for your encouragement and support!

Thank you everyone! I still feel better than I did when I walked into the hospital (well, except for the obvious pain in my neck) I don't know why I feel so good, but hey, I'm just going with it!

Hope you all have a great, relaxing weekend friends
