Post C3-C4 ACDF Surgery with CSF Leak

I had surgery end of October and during foraminal decompression a tear was created in the dural sleeve with flow of CSF into the disc space. This was repaired and I had spacer and plate and screws put in. I was instructed to sleep at 45 degree angle for night at home and did not have brace. The next few days I developed severe headaches and bulge at incision site. Surgeon said it was spinal fluid, drained it, and I needed surgery next day again. The leak was repaired again and spacer removed and graft done and smaller plate put on. I am still having issues. New MRI shows C4-C5 severe disc degeneration with complete loss of disc height, extruded disc contacting and flattening the ventral cord; C5-C6 advanced disc degeneration. Only C3-C4 was completed in surgery. Contacted Mayo but because second surgery is less than 90 days, still under care of my doctor. Any words of wisdom?
