Kelly was born shortly after we moved into our house on Dwane St. in El Cajon. Kelly's birth was somewhat smooth, but afterwards I had a subdural headache from the anesthesia that was so bad I was unable to have Kelly in my room for very long before I had to ask the nurses to take her back to the nursery. The doctors did a MMR and everything, but didn't find anything wrong with me. Even for the first 3 days we were home, I had someone helping me with everything because the headache was so bad and I was having hallucinations from the painkillers. After 3 days Gary took me back to the hospital and told them they needed to do something because the headache wasn't going away. They took me in right away and did a spinal patch that took less than an hour. Basically it is like a bandaid over the incision where they did the epidural. The pain was gone within the hour. I was so mad, why didn't they just do that before I left the hospital!!
