I let them talk me into waiting for another 24 hours. The ER talk called the anesthesiologist who said he "could" come in but maybe one more day would do the trick. Ugh. And I was feeling kind of yucky and powerless and said okay. So I'm home, still of course have a horrible headache when I move around. Thankfully, I really am okay when I'm flat. I think because it's Sunday, they pushed me off a day. They offered me drugs which I said no to and gave me IV fluid.

So I guess I'll just go back in the morning. The big drag is just that now I have to go through the ER routine all over again. The nurse had no idea about spinal headaches and was trying to take my blood pressure in a variety of positions.

The doc was really nice and was trying to be helpful. Why can't I be pushy when I need to be?
