They're going to do a procedure on me tomorrow that sounds fairly interesting. They think my spine is slowly leaking fluid somewhere, thus causing a low pressure issue on my brain. I tried to tell them that it's just my blonde roots, but that didn't fly. So they're going to take some of my blood tomorrow and put it in the lining of my spine. They call it a "blood patch". Since they haven't been able to find a specific point of leakage, they're going to patch the whole spine. I'm a little nervous, but just mainly because of the needles. Needles and I don't get along at all.
The good news is, I haven't had a headache today for the first time in weeks! YAY!!
