Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi group, Thank you all for your thoughts. My A/P surgeries on 1/26 and 1/28 were very successful. There was one complication of a dural tear, which was sealed during the surgery. I was up on Friday and walking a bit on Sat. However, I started getting really awful headaches. This meant that the dural tear was leaking. I was put on 48hr completely flat bed rest. (Laying flat makes the headaches go away and also let's the spinal fluid help seal the tear on it's own.) Still when I sat up after 2 days , the headache was there in full force. After discussing my options, Dr. Hu will go back in and seal the tear for good. I'm laying on my back as I write this, waiting to go into the OR sometime today. I'm doing well, surgical pain is not bad, my meds are minimal. I just want to get over this so that then I can continue my recovery, walk and truly appreciate my new posture, and go home soon! Thank you for your support, SF Bay Area p.s. Racine comes to visits me often. It has been wonderful to meet her! Sent from my iPhone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
