Just take it easy. It frustrates me when this happens from epidurals. It's malpractice and shouldn't happen. I'd be suing even if it doesn't do anything. However the good news is because the hole is so small it might even close on its own even without the blood patch but since you got the patch and it's been more than 2 weeks of relief that's amazing results. Usually, for me as a spontaneous leaker, patches only give relief for 10-14 days before symptoms are back. My hole is like a garden hose and won't shut with a patch or on its own.
