The Bottom Line!: I feel certain you received useful and necessary information from your excellent providers when you were dismissed after your procedure. Because of the bubble, the most important thing is to follow the instructions about keeping your head in the recommended position. DO NOT exceed the recommended activity limits. Take meds as directed. FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS. Good Wishes!
