I just had a spinal tap done on friday. FUN RIGHT?? well, I though everything was going to go smoothly until I woke up Saturday morning. I had the worst headache of my life! I thought, "all I need to do is just lay down for the rest of the day and I'll be fine" NOT! I had to go to the ER on sunday morning. I was throwing up and on a scale from 1 to 10, my headache was a 1,000. I had a spinal headache. I had to have a blood patch done to releive the pain. I called in sick to work on Mon. but it's tuesday and here I am... at work. My pain is tolerable now and my back still hurts, but the worst part is over.
