My initial operation was cancelled on the day (lack of hospital beds) and was rescheduled for 28th April. Unfortunately, that surgery had to be abandoned as a dural puncture of the spine caused a spinal cord fluid leak. The affect has been bed rest and fluids to help repair the leak which hopefully will avoid additional surgery to rectify (most respond to time and surgeon prefers this option as not always successful & surgical risks). Worse side affect is low cerebrospinal fluid pressure headache, which means I can only sit/stand for 10-15 minutes every few hours. If all goes well he hopes to do planned surgery in a week or so - obviously this has all caused lots of disruption and again my apologies for those affected. Thanks to my friends and family for their ongoing support, this has been quite literally an added pain in the neck (head and spine)!
