The pressure of the CSF is what supports your brain. It is very low, usually less than 0.25 psi. This is what causes the 'spinal headache' that you get when the hole doesn't close up like it should so your brain is not 'floating'. When a blood patch is done it can be immediate relief since the pressure is restored.
Reality is it doesn't really mean anything to you. Just another number.
