So she dances....

...okay, so I'm not dancing. But I do currently have Josh Groban promenading across my mind belting So she danceeeeessssss...... :D

I'm waiting. We had a bunch of blood work and a chest CT on Friday, so now we wait. I have a pretty good feeling that, regardless of the results, we will pursue treatment for Myasthenia Gravis. The only thing I really wanna know is what the CT shows of my thymus gland.

If the thymus gland is normal, we can pursue minimally invasive surgical techniques like the da vinci system or a transcervical thymectomy which only has one small incision in the neck. If the CT shows the presence of a thymoma or an enlarged thymus, they will have to crack open the sternum to take it out. Yes, this is the same procedure they utilize for open heart surgeries. Honestly, I don't know if I have the fortitude or emotional strength to undergo this type of surgery right now. So we pray that a minimally invasive technique can be utilized.

I spoke to a friend today from my stake. She is an older lady who has been suffering from Fibromyalgia for 14 years now. She is in a constant state of pain--it ranges from mild to severe, but she is always hurting. So I realized that while this thing I have is awful and has turned my life upside down and inside out, it could be much worse...I could have to live with pain on top of the imposed disabilities.

Thanks for the perspective.
