Title: Update- 25 days after surgery
Post by: maro on September 15, 2010, 10:40:03 am

Hello all, My husband had surgery on August 20Th, spinal fluid leakage from his nose two days after surgery that was fix with a lumbar drain, 11 days after surgery the right side of his face was paralyze, started with steroids and the problem was fixed, no tears yet but he can close his eye and blinks,   headaches nothing took the pain away until he tried Excedrin and seems that was the only pills  that helped, 17 days after surgery leakage from the sutures, doctors use the same suture that broke open to get all the fluid behind his ears (Pseudomeningocele) and it is almost flat now. CT scans shows no infection. Overall he is doing good, thanks for all the help and information during this journey. MARO

Hope the rest of his recovery goes smoothly.
