I got no instructions from the doc or his nurse either, in fact when I mentioned to the nurse that I heard about the caffiene she gave me that moose in headlights look
I learned everything here...funny thing was even knowing all this in advance, after the hospital people acted like it was no big deal....I didn't know what to think. I did what my NT buddies said and laid in bed for 3 days, with a headache....finally on day 5 I called and raised hell and got a the red carpet treatment as I entered the ER where they were waiting for me with fluids, demerol ( I guess to calm me) and the blood patch. I felt much better just like you...what an ordeal!!! (Then the test was negitive after all that)
So glad you are feeling better!!!!!!
