Healing after spinal
I spent so much time here I felt I should come back and tell my story because this is what I spent so much time looking for. In January 2025 I had a csf leak after spinal anesthesia from my c-section. 7 days later I got my first blood patch, 6 weeks later I had my second. About 3.5 months later I had a ct guided blood and fibrin patch. I was convinced it did not work and was miserable. But then I started to get better. I made extremely slow improvements. In August I was able to move home after staying with family for months to help care for our baby and toddler. I went back to work part time in October and have been full time since January. I take care of my kids, travel, live a full day every day, and don’t worry about whether I’m going to be able to do things. I have started running again (a huge passion of mine) and ran 6 miles last week.
Things are not perfect emotionally or physically. But I know I’ll get there. Something I did not know for a while. I was devastated for a very long time and was convinced I wouldn’t get better. But I did.
