So I'm going home! After 6 nights in the hospital, hours of MRI's multiple CT scans, 72 hours flat on my back (not sitting up for any reason whatsoever), injections in my stomach every day (blood thinners) and my second epidural blood patch, meeting with the leading nuerologists in the the finest neuro facility in the world (no kidding) It gives me great pleasure to report-----that they STILL have absolutely no idea how I'm leaking brain fluid. So they're sending me home to see if the i return to normal (MY normal) or if I become a blathering idiot as symptoms return. Please keep me in your prayers that the blood patch worked, as if I come back here to Barrow, the next level of tests are much more dangerous and invasive. Thanks for being there!
