However he hemoraged and they had to go back in 48 hours later to repair the new damage. Its been nearly two months since the two surgeries and now he has spinal fluid leaking out his nose once again. Does anyone know of a permanent fix. This leaking leaves him light headed and feeling generally miserable.
Hi Hon.

You poor thing. I know that others will come by and reply to your posting and help you out. All I can do is give you a gentle hug and say "Welcome to Neurotalk"

You certainly have a lot on your plate don't you. Your poor husband. How is he doing? Did they fix the leak?

Please try and take care of yourself. I hope you have a support system where you live.

Melody
