Good Morning Everyone, I made it through. The proceedure went very well. Doctor was extremely nice and explained everything. I even watched the procedure on the TV monitor. I ended up getting the most intense headache that I have ever had as soon as he finished. It was as if someone turned on a switch. It just went BOOM and there it was. I got a shot of Demerol and it went away after a bit. I did get very nauseated and tossed my cookies and everything else all the way home. (I had eaten a light lunch while I was in the short stay unit. I think from here on out, after any procedure where I get any type of medication I will just not eat afterwards) As long as I laid flat I was fine, but standing was a no no. I took a nap and later started drinking my Coke. I took some Tylenol and Benadryl and felt better by bedtime. Today I feel a bit hung over, but no headache. I'm drinking my Coke and just resting. Gonna have a lazy day. Thanks for all your words of encouragement. Take care.

Hi JBell,
Glad to see you're still in one piece. Sorry for your few bumps, but iat looks like you're okay. Hopefully your neuro will give you some good feedback next week.
Go slow, rest easy. No running!

jbell, glad to see your post! I'd say a lazy day is definitely what the doctor ordered, so go for it! Don't forget to eat at least a little bit if you are taking pain meds, though, as they can tear your stomach up. Hope you can get a lot of sleep.
