OK!!
Here it goes, I went to the ER and they kept me there overnight to run some tests and do an MRI. My bloodwork came back showing an infection, so I was started on antibiotics via IV as well as Toradol (what a GREAT drug!)
The MRI on the other hand did show something that had happened from the bloodpatches, I can't remember what they called it, I am really bad with all these medical terms, so, because of the MRI I had to stay another night to see if they could get the problem resolved without surgery, as it stands, I have an appt with the Nurosurgeon on Monday and everything will depend on what HE wants to do.
I had to go back on the 29th and 30th both in the am and pm to get another dose of antibiotics via IV, they left the IV thing in my hand and because I had a little girl, they let me be home with her...... BUT, if I have anymore pain like it was, or any sign of a fever they will admit me again and then see where things go from there...
I am sorry it has taken SO LONG for me to get in touch with you all, THANK YOU for your concern and if you don't really understand what I was explaining I apologize. Seriously, you need a medical degree to just try to understand everything they give you to process, and I can't remember half of what they said or understand the other half they said.
Hope everyone is keeping well, I will try to keep you updated with what the Surgeon says on Monday.
Take Care
