Message:   I'm glad your headache seems to be getting better. My bias in all things medical is to mazimize recovery time and not push too soon (with certain rare exceptions). So if you have the sick time, I'd take a day or two and recover more. Once the leak fully closes, you should be symptom free. If you have significant lingering headaches that get better when you lay down, reconsider the blood patch. Good luck, and keep us posted.
