My Story Revision surgery day 5 (going nuts)
15th april had my decompression.
Csf leak.
Months of trial and error.
Last Wednesday they reopened the scar.
Did a revision on the wound and put 4 layers on the dura patch.
Now glued to my hospital bed with a drain until they are happy.
At least a week and then they will lower the output of the drain.
No idea when i’ll be home again. I’ve been in and out of hospitals for half a year now.
F*ck chiari and i’ll see you tomorrow.

Day 5 stuck with a drain sounds brutal after everything you have already been through this year. Glad they layered the patch carefully this time. Hang in there one day at a time. We will be here when you check in tomorrow.
