Hi Lulu!  I'm feeling much better. Never did get any headaches. Yay!  Just had a tender sore back and I was just really careful not to break the seal to leak spinal fluid. It went really well. Now I'm just going insane waiting for the results. Oh wait, Insaner!  Lol. I should get the results on either Monday or Tuesday.

Thank you for asking!  You're so thoughtful.

I checked on-line and saw all kinds of different pressures indicated depending on the units being used. But there was one that said normal recumbent opening pressure should be between 18 - 20. I would guess that the 19 in normal.
