Didn't finish reading the thread to notice we already figured what it was for though did you?
Needles are one thing I can't look at. That and knives going into skin. I can get needles, but I won't look, and I can't look at anyone else getting it. The whole cutting skin thing is just odd for me. I can't see it go in, it freaks me out . That is one crazy needle. I'd be quite nervous getting one of those.
thought to add in a bit of more info there....

If so what was it for?
What do you mean? If you've had a ton of LPs before, wouldn't you know that?
We know what its for because we've seen a tad bit of House
There are different reasons for performing a LP.
Some reasons include diagnosis of diseases and some are to relive pressure on the brain from a build up og spinal fluid.

i had one a few weeks ago ... i was terrified because i wasnt told what a lumbar puncture was ... i was told they were going to insert a needle to remove some fluid to test for a bleed on my brain .... i actually thought they were going to stick a needle into my brain to draw the fluid :/
but they took the fluid to test for a brain hemorhage or meningitis... turned out i have meningitis and not the hemorhage thank goodness.
not a pleasant experience at all though

The hemorrhoids going up your spinal cord 
I'm glad you have been diagnosed in time.
