MDA Walk & Spinal Tap

The walk went well on Sat. and we had a really good turn out. With company matching, we raised over $7k in just under two weeks! It was amazing how much support we received! I was able to finish the walk and then took about a two hour nap that afternoon. :-) I was a bit sore through the weekend and this morning, but nothing too bad.
I had the spinal tap this afternoon and it went as well as one goes I guess :-) I told the nurse that after having needles stuck in my tongue at my last EMG, that needles in the back were a walk in the park! I'm just being really careful not to move or bend my back. They said the risk with a spinal tap is not allowing the hole in the spinal fluid sac to heal properly and it leaks fluid causing debilitating headaches. So, at the first sign of a headache I'm supposed to promptly lie down. They said after Wed. if I don't get a headache I'm home free :-) So provided I don't have a headache in the morning (I haven't had one today at all), then I'm going to work but will just take it easy.
I did have to sign a form stating that the blood work they drew will most likely not be covered by insurance and I'll have to pay for it ($200) and there is a chance insurance won't cover the spinal tap and I'll have to pay for that too ($800). I'll fight the spinal tap with insurance, but they pretty much said I'm going to be on my own for the blood work, but we'll see how it pans out. Now, we just wait for the results and the bill :-)
