I was hypotensive and tachycardia with nausea and vomiting, and having severe pain everywhere from the procedure in my back, the CSF leak, and my CES. Then I swallowed wrong drinking water and it made me cough which blew out the blood patch, so back to the hospital, and then I ended up in critical care. So that's what happened, I got worse overnight and he direct admitted me, he did a blood patch, it worked at first. He called me at home and told me to not get out of bed not even to pee (I cath at home because of the CES, so peeing in bed is easier than it sounds), he also told me that if I got worse ext to call him and he will direct admit me. My doctor was very confused and pissed off when he called to check on me later that day and I had been sent home. The doctor admitted me to overnight observation and strict bed rest with caffeine and an abdominal binder, but the post-op nurse screwed up and sent me home instead.
