I just came back from the hospital from another plasmapheresis treatment and I feel pretty good. I have one more session to go on Friday and I’m done. (well, at least with these treatments – the real treat, the “s” word is still coming up) The “s” stands for surgery, a thymectomy, but I’m not panicking yet.
I should say that plasmapheresis has helped me so much that I feel great. No symptoms mean a positive attitude and a new outlook on the future. I am learning to live one day at a time and I’m enjoying the simple yet miraculous activities of being a mom and a wife. I can happily lift my 2 year old daughter from her crib, take her swinging and be able lift her onto the seat. For my family I can prepare a nice meal and easily cut up vegetables, lift pots and pans and as a reward sit down and hungrily chew up and swallow a meal. For those unfamiliar with MG symptoms – these activities are almost impossible on a daily basis.
So I’m happy right now and grateful for my health care and the care of my family and friends. I specifically call up my sisters and tell them “Thank you” for being there for me in the darker hours and they ensure me that I can always count on them for anything anytime…
