"I think I was wrong" // WAVERING on Blood Patch vs CT Myelogram Debate (during CSF LEAK LIMBO)

But still always so hopeful! For a while we did not know whether there was enough evidence of a CSF leak on my MRI to go ahead with a non-targeted blood patch; which is what I've been hoping for. The other potential path as the next step for my CSF leak was a CT myelogram, if they even proceeded at all.

At a certain point I got an EXCITING EMAIL FROM MY DOCTOR, but I only knew that we were moving forward:    • CONFIRMED: A BLOOD PATCH is in my Future!?...   (that "email from my doctor" video was my FIRST MOMENTS of having confirmation that my CSF leak evaluation was moving forward, and THIS video was filmed 2 days later).

So.... WHAT HAPPENED at the May 15, 2023 appointment?! My Procedure Plan:    • My Spinal CSF Leak- BIGGEST NEWS YET!! // ...  

And this video falls in between. Enjoy!
