Spinal Headache Prayer Answered

I am nauseous free at last after 9 1/2 months of feeling sick as a dog. How wonderful it feels! I had almost forgotten what it was like not to feel sick all the time. Now only if this headache would go away. My head was pounding since I got home from the hospital. Not a dull pound, but a severe throbbing. Nothing like I've had before. Is this the replacement of not feeling nauseous?

After a week of suffering I went into the doctors office on Friday. The conclusion, I have a spinal headache caused by spinal fluid leaking from the site of the spinal tap used in my c-section surgery. After talking with the Anesthesiologist who did my surgery the plan was to wait two-three days. I was to do nothing, staying as still as possible to help the opening heal over. If nothing got resolved we'd go back into my spine and fill up the hole with 10cc of my blood. Not exactly what I wanted done.

I got home that afternoon and prayed about it. I took my full dose of recovery drugs and laid on the couch for hours. Last thing I want is to go back into the operating room. When I finally got up in the evening to head to bed, it was gone. Saturday morning it didn't come back either and I haven't had the headache since! Sometimes God answers our prayers right away. Thanks God. I feel like a new person now!
