Update on my hospital stay
 

Hello all- as you all know I developed aseptic meningitis and had a spinal tap to rule out bacterial and viral meningitis- though when they did this the needle punctured a hole too big for my body to recover and I developed a spinal headache and am just getting out of the hospital today. I have had caffeine IV fluids, 2 blood patches and a bunch of morphine and percocet. For now my mg is doing extremely well and I hope it continues to do so as I have finals coming up the next 2 weeks and ive missed a a week of classes:(.

When it rains it pours i guess? Thanksgiving is definetly not my holiday as last thanksgiving was my first crisis and now this:).

Oh well, im better anyway! im thankful for that. It was the most painful thing I have ever gone through and hope none of you have to go through it.


Hope your all doing well.

Hi Tyson
 

Thanks for the update I have been wondering how you were doing.

I think you ought to start giving your Thanks Giving holiday a miss!! There's always next year and the main thing is you are now on the mend.

Hope your headache has cleared, I had a lumbar puncture last year and I had the awful headache for five days. It was so bad I remember sobbing because I had to get up to go to the bathroom, knowing that my head would feel like it was going to explode. I spent 5 days completely flat in bed drinking cans of red bull and I can't abide the stuff! LOL

Good luck with your exams

Love

Gee, hearing all of that pain makes me feel it.

Glad you're on the mend.
