spinal what?

i was discharged last Monday, October 1, 2007 from Makati Medical Center after being confined for 3 days. I had an appendectomy operation. Two days after, I had these constant headaches and vomiting when I'm in an upright position and when I lie down, the pain gradually stops. So I decided to call the doctor and have my follow-up check up to be rescheduled earlier.

It was Thursday, I was rushed to the critical unit in the E.R of Makati Med. My hands and feet were numb. My nail beds turned from purple to almost black. I was gasping for air. I remember the attending doctors keep on telling me to calm down but I can't because the pain is really killing me. They gave me oxygen and attached several wires (i don't know what the heck they call those things) on my body to monitor my vital signs. I was given intravenous meds and again they took CBC. After an hour or so, the pain is still there. They referred me to a neurologist and finally admitted me for further observations.

The resident doctor gave her findings the following day. She said that it's Spinal Headache because of anesthesia given to me during my operation. I was given IV, advised me to take more fluids and caffeine so that I can flush out the anesthesia. 

Hayyyyy.. I didn't know that it will be this hard. Some of my friends told me that this kind of operation is easy but the recovery usually takes time.  And as advised by my doctor, I should take another week to rest before I go to work again.

To my family, i love you all so much. Thanks for everything. *cry*
