Update
My surgery happened on Tuesday. Apparently I have more than the average veins in my neck and required a transfusion. I the process of removing bone growth from my spine, the dura over the spinal chord was punctured and repaired. My bed has been at 30 degrees or more to help it heal. The drainage was tested yesterday and it was determined I still have a leak and will be having surgery again today. I am bummed but know it needs repaired as a case a meningitis would not be good.
Just wanted to keep posted.
