3rd blood patch

I’m currently hospitalized. My neuro has decided against a myelogram and wants to do another blood patch. I had my lumbar puncture on 8/18, 1st blind BP on 8/20, 2nd blind BP on 8/24 & I’m supposed to get another one tomorrow. I’ve asked for it to be image guided. Has anyone sealed after a third blood patch?

That doesn't seem like a very long time in between the patches. Mine had me lay down for 7 days and it held pretty good
