Default spinal fluid leak

on January 3rd, 2011 i had disk surgery to releive pressure on a nerve that was giving me pain in my lower leg... on feb 15th I started getting mild headaches that turned on major headaches and the surgeon deduced the headaches were being caused by an internal leak of spinal fluid and I also had a bulge at location of incision filled with fluid.. on March 24th i had surgery to patch the leak and remove the bulge... the major headaches are gone and bulge was removed. my back and leg now feel real good, but i still have a mild steady headache but as I said the March 24th surgery of fixing the leak has removed the major headaches.. doctor says now the minor steady headache i now experience still after 5 days since surgery, will dissipate after the spinal fluid replenishes itselft which could take "who knows how long" does this sound correct? will the mild steady headache i know have go away by itself?
