Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I've had five untetherings over the past eleven years and two long CSF leak repairs. After each surgery I had to lay flat in the hospital bed for at least 72 hours, two of the surgeries I had to lay flat for an additional 24 hours (the CSF leak repairs). I was only allowed this minute degree of raising my head. I was never put on my stomach - I could roll onto my sides (encouraged to do so) and lay flat on my back during the hospital stay. On my last day in the hospital as long as I could walk without passing out and there were no evident complications, I was released with the normal restrictions.
