Spinal Tap



No, not the 'band', the medical procedure also known as a lumbar puncture.



You may have seen this on 'House', where I distinctly remember them portraying it as painful.

Well, I had one, and it wasn't painful at all.
It was just like getting blood drawn and I think the hardest part may be the mental image of something in your spine.
This mental image didn't phase me.

They told me to lay down for a few hours after (too easy) and drink coffee/cola to help with any headaches/nausea. 
I drank cola and felt fine.

If you may need to have a lumbar puncture, don't worry too much, it isn't that scary. :)
