After a long night in the er & an MRI, a plan has finally been made. I had a meeting with neuro. They feel my leak is too large for a blood patch. Their idea is to put in a drain (I've insisted on twilight due to my anxiety & hypersensitivity to pain) & let it collect in a bag for a few days. This will hopefully allow it to seal. This is their most conservative option. I will be here for probably at least 5 days. I do feel like these doctors are taking my leak seriously & I'm in safe hands. I'm still in significant pain but they are treating it.
A side note, the er @ Duke is one of the best I've been to. So if you ever have an emergency π
Prayers are always appreciated & I will update when I can. Thank you so much Dad for staying through the night in an er room!
