Feeling MUCH better

Last night I went back to the hospital to have a "blood patch" which essentially blocked the hole they made in my spinal column and immediately relieved my headaches/neck pain. I was there a little over an hour and felt relief almost instantly. I feel so much better being able to move around, sit up, and walk.

Kara is now one week old and I think she has the magical Dickinson sleeping power. She's alert and awake for about 45 minutes a day. It has been a blessing considering my condition.

We have had so much help this past week, that I've really felt so blessed! We have so many people that have sent meals, called on the phone, and offered help. Thank you, everyone!!

That's awesome that your doing better! It stinks that you had to suffer through the headaches to begin with though.

I'm glad that you are feeling better! Headaches are miserable! 45 min. a day I wish my kids were still only awake for that amount of time JK!

I'm glad there's a fix for that. Why didn't they give it to you a week ago, huh :o)? Boy, every delivery comes with it's potential complications, doesn't it? Assuming the headaches stay gone now that's probably a pretty mild complication though, so that's good. Wish me luck...9 weeks and counting!
