Wish me luck....

with my spinal tap tomorrow morning. I need everyone to send 'NO CSF Headache' vibes.
I do NOT want to do this, unfortunately that stupid tumor/cyst in my brain insists that they check the intercranial cerebral pressure.
I'll be able to post updates on Wed. I hope, as tomorrow I have to be on complete rest and possibly longer depending on whether I get a CSF Headache. If it gets real bad, they already said they would consider a blood patch, and the anaestheologist told me to drink water water water and lots and lots of tea. He also said he will hook up IV fluids and administer caffeine directly through the IV -- apparently hyperhydrating can help to avoid a CSF Headache.
Here's hoping all goes well!

Good Luck Cat,
Tell 'em to put about a dozen crushed Rivea Corymbosa seeds into the IV with saline. 
I didn't know Spinal Tap was touring again. What instrument are you playing?

Lots of luck!!
I'm with Paul - I had one in 2001, and I was scared to death because of seeing things on tv, hearing people talk about them, etc.
A senior resident did mine and a med student was in the room - they explained every step of the process to kind of ease my nerves. I had my teddy bear - that helped too LOL 
It wasn't too bad, overall! Had to lay flat for an hour. Didn't get a CSF headache, but already had a very bad headache as it was, which was why I got the tap.
Hoping that it goes well and that everything is fine with the pressures!
